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!
-Character is king!
-Love a funny pitch. Take a deep breath and trust your experience to tell your story
-What is the hook/your unique POV?
-Focus on the story setup for episode 102 and the main character(s) set up rest of the season.
-Live action half hour comedy (multi and single cam) for network and streaming are my highest preference. As far as traditional multicam, think LEANNE on Netflix.
-Female led half hours and one hours
-One hour political dramas
-Procedurals with an emotional arc (ex: CASTLE, THE GOOD WIFE)
-Serialized TV
-Would love to read stories that feature the growth journey of Black women at any stage of life framed in a comedic but grounded way.

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.
