In addition to a tight, killer script, every TV project needs a strong series bible or deck to help convey sustainability and its role in the marketplace. And execs commonly ask for pitch decks for features as well! So submit your Series Bible, Pitch Deck (20 pages max each), or both, and the exec will conduct a 30-minute notes call (1-hour if submitting both documents) to help you clarify and sharpen the supplemental material to help your marketing efforts.

Annika is an award-winning writer/director. She was born and raised in former East Germany. After graduating with a B.A. in Theatre Directing & History from the University of Bavaria in Bayreuth, she received a Fulbright Scholarship and studied under Murray McGibbons at Indiana University, Bloomington. She rounded her formal education at the Savannah College of Art & Design with a Master's degree in film directing.
Still in school, she was hired as the assistant to the director of the film SAVANNAH and moved to Los Angeles to work for an A-list actor from that film. She worked on productions such as JUNGLE CRUISE, WATCHMEN, NCIS, THE GLORIAS, and many others. Annika is represented at 42t Management.
She worked for John and James Cameron in development and their medical- tech company, Human Health Organization, and was quickly promoted to VP of Production. During the pandemic, they re-dedicated an entire arm of the company to help at the frontlines with creating access to tests, PPE, and later, vaccines.
She currently has two projects in active development and published her first fiction novel in August of 2024 with Europe Books. As a first in a YA novel series, it has garnered a growing reader audience and won the Pegasus Award 25.
Her last short film CROSSING FENCES did a festival run in 2017/18 and received worldwide distribution through HEWES Media. It made the entire budget back.
She was selected for the SUNDANCE/WIF Finance Lab, A Nicholls Fellowship Semi-Finalist, A Screencraft finalist, and a finalist for Outstanding Screenplays, A Winner for the Pages awards 25, and she was named one of the top 25 writers to watch through the ISA (International Screenwriters Association).

PITCH DECKS: These are visually-driven documents (20 pages max) that use images and short paragraphs of text to demonstrate the tone, world, character insight, key plot points, stakes, and theme of the series or feature. If the Pitch Deck is for a show, it will use some of the same sections of text as your Series Bible, but will be less extensive. When creating a pitch deck, always make sure that you are using images of a consistent size and quality, and that you use the same font, color code, margins, and other design specifications throughout.

SERIES BIBLES: These supplemental documents are text-only (20 pages max), and can get requested when marketing any sort of TV show. Among other things, they should demonstrate what makes your characters unique and captivating, the focus and evolution of their arcs, the rules of the world, the hook of the story engine, the intended tone and theme, as well as why YOU are the best person to write this show from this perspective. Here's example #1 and example #2. Note: The formatting and organization of Series Bibles has changed since these examples were created, but addressing these sections in your own Series Bible will be a great starting point to make sure you're answering questions before they're asked.
**Please note series bibles and pitch decks are each limited to 20 pages maximum. Please contact terra@roadmapwriters.com for pricing on a consultation for material exceeding 20 pages.

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.
