Particularly Interested In

I’m really interested in projects that mix emotional depth with humor and a bit of darkness. I’m drawn to adult animation that can be both funny and thought-provoking, like BOJACK HORSEMAN or RICK AND MORTY. For family-friendly animation, I love stories that appeal to both kids and adults, much like AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER or THE INCREDIBLES.

I’m also excited about coming-of-age stories that feel real and relatable, whether they’re grounded like EIGHTH GRADE or have a sci-fi twist like STRANGER THINGS. I’m a big fan of buddy comedies with a mix of humor and heart, similar to SUPERBAD. In horror, I’m particularly into psychological horror that digs into real fears, like HEREDITARY or GET OUT. And when it comes to kids’ and family TV, I’m all about character-driven stories that are both exciting and meaningful, like GRAVITY FALLS or THE MANDALORIAN. I’m eager to connect with writers who are passionate about these kinds of stories!

Summary

Ask any lingering questions you may have about Roadmap Writers, the Career Writer Program, how to make sure you're getting the most bang for your buck, and then spend a luxurious session writing with your fellow writers, perhaps with prompts, perhaps with music, perhaps just with the company of other writers. Hop on and get those pages done!

The first 30 minutes will be Q&A before diving into the full writing hour, so if you want to skip the first part, plan to join the zoom at 5:30pm PT.
