You've been working yourself to the bone for days, weeks or months trying to finish a draft you can feel good about sharing with people who aren't your mom, spouse or bestie. You're ready to test its metal, so you select an exec and sign up for a consultation to get feedback and advice. But as the date approaches, nerves and expectations build, and you start to think about the best way to handle your call together.

What questions should you ask? How do you build a professional relationship from nothing? What if your story is perfect for their brand but they don't seem to like it enough? What's the best way to catch editing mistakes before you submit? What if after all your work and deliberate story choices, they just don't get it? If you two really jive, how do you respectfully capitalize on that? 

Roadmap's very own Terra Joy is here to give you all her insider tips and tricks to maximize your next consult!   

This 90-Minute Webinar Will Cover: 

  • Consult etiquette + the conducive mindset 
  • How to gracefully digest notes while feeling on the spot 
  • When to ask questions, and what questions to ask 
  • Editing checklist + how to catch more mistakes 
  • How to capitalize on your submission form to prime the exec 
  • Notes finished early, now what? 
  • Audience Q&A

Terra Joy started her career in Washington, DC as a journalist where she also managed a documentary film campaign, resulting in 115+ screenings in under nine months. She was also very active in the local screenwriting community as a member of WIF. Before joining the RoadCrew, she was a reader for Slamdance. She has read over a thousand scripts, and has seen the trends in feedback from execs on over 5K. Terra is also a professional proofreader and line editor, and a staffwriter on Season 2 of FORNICAKES -- an award winning webseries about two polar opposite best friends who open up an erotic bakery. As a writer, a craft and psychology nerd, and a Virgo with OCD, she loves to use her detail obsession to benefit story development. She's been to 35+ countries, has a B.A. in Political Science, and when she's not connecting awesome creative people with other awesome creative people, she's writing, or thinking about writing. Terra also enjoys boba tea, stand-up comedy, and breaking down shows and movies in preparation to launch a totally adorable yet ruthless living room podcast with her roommate Alex Davies.
