Specificity is key. I'd rather feel like I'm "in the room" in a scene than just be pitched broad strokes. Put me in the scene! Laughing is encouraged as well.
I'm interested in a wide range of genres. For me, it's about character first -- anything compelling starts with great characters that feel real, dimensional, and evolve over the course of a story. Second, it's uniqueness and originality -- whether that be the hook/premise, the tone, the voice, the characters: What subverts the material to make it stand out from the clutter? Does it feel personal? Third, is it commercial and fun. Does it entertain? Regardless of genre, these elements should be infused; I'm of the ethos that film and television, while a balance of art and entertainment, must be entertaining enough to attract buyers in this difficult landscape and drive viewership. It's always critical to have a sense of who the audience is for a particular piece of material.

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.
