Roadmap Writers has helped over 380 screenwriters sign with industry representation in just 7 years. We pride ourselves on partnering with the best and brightest industry professionals the entertainment world has to offer to develop the most promising up-and-coming screenwriters.
The pinnacle of our immersive Career Writer Program, the Top Tier Program is for writers who exhibit a mastery of the scripted page, pitching fundamentals, and network-building who are ready to make screenwriting a career. This is where the bulk of our screenwriting success stories come from!
Through Top Tier Program introductions, writers from all over the world have signed to:
3 Arts, A3, Affirmative Entertainment, All Trades Content, Anonymous Content, APA, Art/Work Entertainment, Bellevue, Bohemia Group, Buchwald Agency, CAA, The Cartel, Chatrone, Circle of Confusion, Echo Lake, Empirical Evidence, Ensemble Entertainment, Epigram, Gersh, Gotham Group, Heroes and Villains, Housefire Management, Industry Entertainment, Kaplan Perrone, Kaplan Stahler, Kersey Management, Klasco Entertainment, Luber Roklin, Meridian Artists, Rosa Entertainment, Schemers Entertainment, Untitled Entertainment, Verve, Woolf + Lapin, Lit Entertainment Group, Wonder Street, WME, Zero Gravity Management—and more!
Writers in the program have also staffed on REACHER, THE RESIDENT, THE FLASH, POKER FACE, and NIGHT COURT, and sold/set up projects at MGM, Amazon, Stampede Ventures, Bohemia Group, Civilized Entertainment, Campfire, Lionsgate, Warner Bros., Lifetime, Magnolia Entertainment, and Hallmark.
The Grand Prize Winner of this competition will be accepted into Top Tier for FREE for an entire year!
And like all our competitions, we will do personalized outreach to execs of all the high-scoring scripts no matter where the script lands in the competition. This will help even more writers get their work in front of execs than ever before. This is not a giant email/booklet with a bunch of loglines sent to execs. It's individual personalized emails to execs we feel could be right for your particular project.
