Include Notes

Roadmap Writers is proud to launch the 45 Forward Screenwriting Fellowship, a new initiative dedicated to championing screenwriters who are 45 and older. The fellowship will provide writers with the opportunity to submit a screenplay for either a Feature or TV show, a one-page personal essay, and a short video introduction to be considered for exclusive pitch training, virtual group meetings, industry exposure with leading executives, producers, managers, agents, and working writers. The goal of the program is to recognize the value of lived experience and create meaningful pathways for talented storytellers whose voices deserve to be heard.
