If readers aren’t grabbed by your story in the first 15 pages, they may not keep reading. Submit the first 15 pages of your script and have a 15-minute story notes call with the executive of your choice. This call will help you create a strong opening/act one to keep readers going until FADE OUT.

I look for hooky concepts to lure me in, and compelling characters to take me home. I like pitches that are more conversational and grounded, than ones that are speeches.
Film - action, adventure, sci-fi, thrillers, animation (adult), sports, politics
TV - half hour comedy, animation (YA & adult), sports, politics, thrillers
I'm also interested in writers who've had success in other industries like sports, music, fashion, politics etc. and making the plunge into writing.
I'm particularly excited about filmmakers.
Romance, small indie dramas, faith-based, mini-series.

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.
