What to Expect

How you approach the prep work of outlining your script—whether for your first draft or your 10th—can make all the difference when you sit down to face the blinking cursor. No matter how detailed or macro, all outlines must contain the standard structural integrity and character arcs for your particular format and genre. Submit your outline (10 page max) and the executive will conduct a 30-minute notes call to give you and your story ground-level guidance. You'll discuss how to refine set up of the structure, pacing, theme, and character development for your script.

Pitch Tips

I like to know what makes your story worth telling up top,. There are so many ways to spend my time, why should I tune into your project, what sets it apart? From there I’m interested in a general arc and then the nitty gritty of character and plot.

More about Jenna Simmons

Jenna Simmons is a proudly plus size, queer writer who has been told she’s “tall for a girl” and has a “forceful presence” by her dating app matches. She's currently working on her second season of VELMA for HBO Max under Charlie Grandy who she worked for as an assistant for three years. While studying at the University of Pittsburgh, she founded and served as the Executive Director of the Pittsburgh Comedy Festival which had headliners such as Aubrey Plaza, Todd Glass, and Judah Friedlander. She is a proud mother of two cats that only kind of like her, and when she’s not punching up jokes she enjoys boxing, which might explain the forceful presence thing.

Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your registration for a refund or Roadmap gift card if you have not yet submitted your material for review. However, once your material has been received by Roadmap, your registration cannot be canceled. Having revised material or a desire to retroactively apply a discount or gift card code are not grounds for cancellation, refunds, or gift card credit. Once your material has been submitted, the only acceptable grounds for cancellation and a refund or gift card credit is an unforeseen, ongoing emergency on the part of either the writer or the exec resulting in more than 6 weeks without any scheduling update from the exec via direct contact or Roadmap, or a sudden change in the exec's ongoing availability. In the instance of an irreconcilable scheduling issue, the writer may still receive a written feedback report from the exec. In this case, the writer is not entitled to a refund or gift card credit as the exec has read the submitted material and provided written feedback in lieu of the call.
