For me, character is always at the center. I want to know the emotional journey your characters are going on and how that anchors the story. I’m also looking for a clear central engine that shows how the series or movie sustains itself and what keeps audiences coming back. Just as important is answering the question of why now? What makes this story relevant to today’s audiences, and why are you the one to tell it? If you can convey those elements with clarity and passion, you’ll have my attention.
Right now, I’m particularly interested in grounded genre stories that push familiar tropes in unexpected ways. I love near-fi and wish-fulfillment gone wrong, as well as subversive takes on well-loved genres in the vein of THE BOYS. Horror, horror-comedy, and psychological thrillers that are character-forward are always exciting to me, as are workplace and corporate thrillers with sharp social commentary.
On the other side of the spectrum, I’m drawn to stories with big emotional hooks, especially in romance and mystery. Romantasy, romance/thrillers, dark and epic romance, as well as cozy romance, cozy crime, romance/mystery, puzzlebox mystery, and upstairs/downstairs high-brow soaps all pique my interest. Across genres, I gravitate toward bold voices, layered characters, and worlds that feel both surprising and relatable.
Political dramas, historical/war stories, faith-based/spiritual projects, or biopics.

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.
