Lead with your hook and your protagonist—what makes this story stand out? Show me the stakes, the tone, and why it matters to you. Be clear, confident, and give me a sense of the heart or humor that makes the story memorable.
Right now, I’m particularly interested in emotionally rich, character-driven stories across TV and film. In television, I’m drawn to dramas, dramedies, and edgy comedies that explore complex relationships, family dynamics, and outsider perspectives. I’m also excited by female- and Latinx-led narratives, both in half-hour and one-hour formats, for cable and streaming platforms.
In features and shorts, I’m interested in story-driven projects that balance humor and heart with edge, including intimate dramas, dark comedies, and high-concept stories with strong character arcs. I enjoy working with emerging writers and creators with bold, authentic voices and writers who are excited to push genre boundaries while keeping emotional stakes front and center.
I’m not the right fit for hard sci-fi that isn’t rooted in character, fantasy projects that rely primarily on world-building over emotional stakes, or narratives that hinge solely on mythology or dense lore. I’m also not looking for broad stoner comedies or stories driven mostly by plot mechanics rather than human complexity.
I am open to supernatural/paranormal and action projects—as long as the characters and their emotional journeys are front and center.

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.
