The exec of your choice will read either the first 25 pages of 4 scripts, 33 pages of 3 scripts, or the first 50 pages of 2 scripts. You'll also submit a one-pager of loglines (to include Title, Format, Genre, and Comps with each logline) for their review. Then you'll have a one-hour call with the exec to get their notes and feedback on your portfolio as a whole, as well as receive marketing and career advice. Be prepared to ask guiding questions!

I’d love to hear what it is you want audiences to come away feeling and thinking about. Also a one line ‘in a nutshell’ pitch is always really useful to grasp the essence of your show, before we delve deeper.
Anything with fantastic relationships at the core. Particularly romantic relationships - in any genre. But also familial relationships and deep friendships.
I have extensive experience working with the thriller genre and crime drama. These are always popular with buyers so am always keeping an eye out for those that feel unique in some way, perhaps Trojan horsing new ideas and themes into this well-loved, familiar format.
I love shows that really have something to say, and that want to turn the dial in some way and move the conversation forward. This doesn’t necessarily mean with issues, but maybe shedding light on the complexity of characters that society usually overlook. Or showing a mother / daughter relationship in a new way, for example. Ultimately I love scripts where I can see the writer is truly passionate about their show and am excited to talk to new writers I wouldn’t otherwise meet.

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.
