If readers aren’t grabbed by your story in the first 15 pages, they may not keep reading. Submit the first 15 pages of your script and have a 15-minute story notes call with the executive of your choice. This call will help you create a strong opening/act one to keep readers going until FADE OUT.

I love grounded, character-driven comedy. If I can't tell whether to laugh or cry, we're probably in a sweet spot!
I love family dramedies with female leads especially if they have a Latine lens. I love shows like GENTEFIED, ONE DAY AT A TIME, BAD SISTERS, THE OTHER TWO, THE BEAR. Tonally, I love material that toes the line between comedy and drama. I also love coming-of-age that subverts the genre, so a coming-of-age story for the 30-somethings, etc.
If you're writing the next MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, I'm probably not the consultant for you.
Maydé is a first-generation Cuban American woman, born and raised in Miami, FL. She is a Writer/Producer/Director at a constant risk of whiplash as she works in theatre, film, and television to explore stories of women that crash right into large ensemble family dramas and don’t know whether to laugh or cry. She made her way up as an independent theatre producer and a TV/Film Development Executive with a focus on literary adaptations (Duck & Goose, The School for Good and Evil, Get Rolling with Otis). After 10 years of calling NYC home, she finally got her "I'm a real New Yorker" card and immediately moved to Los Angeles with it. She was most recently a Writers' Assistant on WE WERE THE LUCKY ONES for Hulu / 20th TV.

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.
