Top Tier Authors is Step 3 of the Career Author Program. Writers must first complete Step 1: Publishing On-Ramp to be considered for the Top Tier Authors Program.
Top Tier is for polished writers who pitch confidently and clearly, as authors in this program will be meeting with agents, publishers, and editors.
TOP TIER INCLUSIONS:
- $195 CREDIT & 20% DISCOUNT CODE:
Top Tier includes the benefits listed below PLUS a $195 Credit that can be used site-wide with a 20% discount (excluding renewing or purchasing Top Tier Monthly programs). You can use this credit and discount toward purchasing anything on the site including Top Tier Author General Meetings where an exec reads the first two pages of your MS and review your synopsis or look book before meeting with you for 20 minutes via Zoom. The credit does not expire but the discount code is only valid for the Top Tier month in which you are enrolled.
- MANUSCRIPT CRITIQUES: Send 10 pages of your manuscript to Selene Castrovilla, the Director of Authors Programs, who will provide you with feedback in a roundtable with your peers. Each writer receives about 20 minutes devoted to their work during the roundtable. Authors will attend multiple critique roundtables to learn from and support their peers, but each writer will be assigned one roundtable to receive Selene's feedback on their work.
- WEEKLY CHECK-INS: Connect with your peers and Selene, your program mentor, in a roundtable setting to discuss your progress, challenges, and strategy moving forward.
- TARGETED MARKETING EMAILS: You submit 50+ target companies and our CEO, Joey Tuccio, will email a selection of execs on your behalf.
- ROADMAP WRITING CAFES: You can join in our weekly writing cafes each Wednesday from 8AM - Midday PT and 5PM - 7PM PT.
{Note: Top Tier Gift Cards cannot be used to pay for this product]
If you feel strongly that you are ready for Top Tier without having completed Step 1 or 2, email 15-20 pages of your manuscript to selene@roadmapwriters.com for evaluation, along with your one-page synopsis.
Working with Roadmap has been a real pleasure and a treasure trove of good writing. I attend many writers' conferences and workshops and have gotten lots of pitches. I find that the authors who have been vetted and referred to me by Roadmap are very talented, much more than at other venues. I have signed one author who I met through Roadmap and submitted her work to publishers. But there have been many more who have the talent that I am looking for but rarely find. I hope to be doing more work with Roadmap in the future.

After registering, your confirmation email will include a link for you to access your syllabus for the program, which will include any prep work & resources, class dates & times, join links, assignments, and other instructions.
All interactive sessions are conducted face-to-face via video conferencing software Zoom. While the ability to call in by phone does exist, we strongly recommend taking full advantage of the face-to-face nature of these programs, so you should plan to attend your sessions in front of a computer or stationary tablet at a desk or table in a well-lit room. All Zoom sessions are recorded and distributed to the participating writers so everyone can be fully present in the session and still have a record to review for notes if needed.
Please ensure you are familiar with our Code of Conduct.
