How you approach the prep work of outlining your script—whether for your first draft or your 10th—can make all the difference when you sit down to face the blinking cursor. No matter how detailed or macro, all outlines must contain the standard structural integrity and character arcs for your particular format and genre. Submit your outline (10 page max) and the executive will conduct a 30-minute notes call to give you and your story ground-level guidance. You'll discuss how to refine set up of the structure, pacing, theme, and character development for your script.

I'm open to all -- story is a universal language and the scripts I've helped writers with have been successful regardless of genre. I'm happy to help anyone with anything; my goal is to help you write the best version of the script *you* want to write.
That said, if somebody's ever told you that you write dialogue like Aaron Sorkin, or just write great dialogue in general, that sort of thing is always up my alley.
Like many people, Dylan Visvikis was born. Sometime after that, his feature script THE HAMPTONS made the HIT LIST, he rewrote a feature for Gunpowder + Sky, wrote a feature for the Oscar-and-Emmy-nominated producer of SE7EN and EMILY IN PARIS, optioned an hourlong pilot with a Teen Wolf star attached. Dylan adapted a non-fiction book for Baha Productions (I Play Rocky), played on a Grammy-nominated album, co-created/wrote and sold a scripted podcast to one of the producers of BLACK SWAN, and was one of just 6 half-hour writers selected for inclusion in The Black List’s TV Writers Staffing Book. Later he wrote a microbudget horror feature for an Emmy-nominated director, was named a semifinalist for the Nicholl Fellowship and a winner of the Tracking Board Launch Pad Feature Competition, and even rewrote and produced a Tribeca Film Festival-selected short film.
Most recently, Dylan has been commissioned to write feature films for Mandalay Pictures (AIR), RNA Films (2x-Oscar-nominated THE APPRENTICE, DEAD MAN'S WIRE) and Imagine Entertainment (A BEAUTIFUL MIND), with an Oscar-winning A-list actor attached to star in the latter. To date, every produced script he's developed or rewritten has been critically well-received, and countless other scripts he's helped his fellow writers hone have been either sold, optioned, used as a successful sample to secure its writer representation at major agencies (including UTA) and management companies (including Heroes & Villains), placed in one or more notable screenwriting competitions, made the Black List, and/or either all or some combination of the above. He’s represented by Elevate Entertainment.

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.
