More about Laura Shapiro

Laura Shapiro started her career as a concert producer before moving to film and television as a writer, producer and creative consultant on projects for HBO, Showtime, 20th Century Fox, Universal Studios, MGM, and CBS. Laura was Director of Development & Production for writer/producer/director Ed Solomon's production company for over a decade before launching her own company, Psychopomp Investigations, in 2023.

She was commissioned by the Writers Guild Foundation to edit the book, "The First Time I Got Paid For It: Writers' Tales From The Hollywood Trenches" and by the creators of the franchise to write "Bill & Ted's Most Excellent Movie Book: The Official Companion”. Her work has run the gamut of filmmaking from producing the low budget independent surf film BEAUTIFUL WAVE to creative consultant on the 2017 Universal reboot of THE MUMMY starring Tom Cruise, working with writer/director Alex Kurtzman through the entire filmmaking process. Most recently, she was Story Editor on the HBO limited series FULL CIRCLE for showrunner Ed Solomon and director Steven Soderbergh, her third collaboration with that team.

How it Works

Private Month Mentorship

Each month mentorship kicks off with a preliminary 15-min. call to set expectations and lay out strategy for the month. Writer will have email access to the executive plus 4x one-hour consultations with the exec. Exec will read up to 4 scripts in one month (different drafts of the same script or 4 different scripts) and conduct 4x one-hour story notes calls. Calls can also include feedback on your pitch, branding, or career strategy.

If you pay with the deposit/payment plan, your second half will be due the 2nd week of the Mentorship. If you need a different type of payment plan, email dorian@roadmapwriters.com. 

**Please note feature screenplays are limited to 120 pages maximum. Please contact terra@roadmapwriters.com for pricing on a Month Mentorship on screenplays exceeding 120 pages.

What To Expect

After registering, you will receive an automatic Order Confirmation email. Then Roadmap's Director of Consultations, Terra Joy, will get your mentor looped in with you! If you do not hear from Terra or the exec within 3 days of registering, feel free to email terra@roadmapwriters.com for an update.
