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!
My background is primarily in theatrical and streaming features, and I am well-informed in developing, selling and producing films. I have worked in many different genres including but not limited to sci-fi, horror, action, drama, comedy, genre benders, period pieces, biopics, and superhero adaptations. I am a firm believer that specificity is the gateway to universality, and I love helping writers see their ideas come to fruition. I love working with writers who have a singular voice and a distinctive point of view and am particularly interested in female-driven stories! I love reading from a wide variety of genres and love getting to explore different themes!
I really want to find transgressive, thought-provoking, character driven stories with heart, but also have an element of genre to them.
Rom-coms (unless there's a genre element), any type of comedies.

Before starting your Month Mentorship, please ensure you are familiar with our Code of Conduct.
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, 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.
