How you approach the prep work of outlining your script—whether for your first draft or your 10th—can make all the difference when you sit down to face the blinking cursor. No matter how detailed or macro, all outlines must contain the standard structural integrity and character arcs for your particular format and genre. Submit your outline (10 page max) and the executive will conduct a 30-minute notes call to give you and your story ground-level guidance. You'll discuss how to refine set up of the structure, pacing, theme, and character development for your script.

Be concise, give tonal comps before diving into the story, and make sure the plot and themes are equally defined and easy to track.
I'm most interested in feature and TV scripts in the thriller, horror, comedy (especially R-rated), crime drama, true story, and sports genres. I especially like antiheroes and morally ambiguous/conflicted protagonists. With comedies, the drier and edgier the humor, the better!
Favorite movies include CASINO, THE USUAL SUSPECTS, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, DUMB & DUMBER, and THE DEPARTED. Most recently I enjoyed BLACKBERRY and The BLACKENING.
On the TV side, favorites include THE SOPRANOS, MINDHUNTER, OZARK, THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA, ALWAYS SUNNY, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, and ZEROZEROZERO.
Period and Romance dramas.

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.
