Work one-on-one with an executive at mutually agreed upon times around your schedule. To start, you'll have a 15-minute strategy call with your executive to get the lay of the land for the month. Then, you’ll have email access to your executive throughout, plus four one-hour story notes sessions. Work on a single screenplay or multiple scripts plus get additional notes on your pitch, brand strategy, and career advice - work your mentorship to its fullest potential!
Stories driven by women and people of color, stories fronted by characters with disabilities, explorations of neurodivergence. I'd particularly love to see this in the comedy, romance/romantic comedy, and sci-fi genres!

Octavia Bray is a television writer and podcast addict currently developing an animated show for Nickelodeon with WVE. She received her BA in Communications and East Asian Languages and Civilizations from the University of Pennsylvania, then veered to receive her MFA in Writing and Producing for Television from Loyola Marymount University.
Octavia was previously staffed on Disney Channel's RAVEN'S HOME and previously sold a pitch to Disney Channel. A child of divorce twice over, Octavia has one mom, two dads, and seven siblings of varying degrees of blood relation. This means she also has a savior complex and a love for organization (lots of family to keep track of), which she uses for good rather than evil (as an occasional part-time lecturer at Loyola Marymount University). Octavia has also written for podcasts like Hallmark's CRIMSON HEARTS COLLIDE, ABF x Wondery's ADVENTURES OF CAIRO, Atypical Artists' THE AM ARCHIVES, Rusty Quill's CRY HAVOC, ASK QUESTIONS LATER, and her own sci-fi(ish) rom-com LIFE WITH LEO(h).
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.
