TV: Right now my focus is more broadcast style TV shows. Procedural or a procedural/serialized hybrid (LINCOLN LAWYER example). Unique characters solving crimes, legal, medical, action/thriller.
Film: Action/thriller/comedy/family/adventure. Simple hooks, fast paced. If SyFy, must be grounded. Hooks that can be described in one sentence. Interested in elevating ‘90s/early 2000s-style action movies.
- Clean, grounded hooks preferred.
- Desired focuses include action-adventure, action-thriller, and straight action.
Examples: NATIONAL TREASURE, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM, CON AIR, THE ROCK, FACE OFF, SIXTH SENSE
Period, space, "slices of life" need a hook.

After submitting your material, please allow about 3-4 weeks to receive proposed times for scheduling your call with the exec. If you haven't heard from your exec by the 3-4 week mark about scheduling, please email terra@roadmapwriters.com so we know to check in with them on your behalf about their proposed dates/ETA for you.

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.
