Need some extra guidance on your pitch? Wanting some one-on-one with an exec to get your pitch really polished? You know the importance of a strong pitch, but so many factors go into making it resonate, and it always requires more practice than you think. In your private 30-minute call with the exec, you'll get tailored guidance to prepare you for your best delivery yet. Submit your 1-2 page written pitch for the exec's prior review, and you'll begin the call by giving your 5-7 minute verbal pitch. You’ll then discuss delivery, clarity, structure, characterization, pacing, the opening of your pitch, and how best to end.

Figure out what drives this story for YOU. Is it the actual plot, is it the characters, is it just one character? is it the message? Center your pitch around this. For me, it is all about getting me to feel just as passionate about the story as you do. Typically this is why you started writing this in the first place - if you can find a way to articulate that clearly - whether it is light and comedic, deep and dramatic, or all around terrifying - you'll probably have me!
Female Driven stories, Familiar stories with a fresh twist, nostalgia with a new lens, odd stories that show the beauty of humanity - whether that be in a comedic, horrific, or dramatic way. Stories that have heart from beginning to end. Familiar stories told from a diverse perspective.
I don't typically go for super high concept sci-fi or superhero stuff.

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.
