Work one-on-one with an executive at mutually agreed upon times around your schedule. To start, you'll have a 15-minute strategy call with your executive to get the lay of the land for the month. Then, you’ll have email access to your executive throughout, plus four one-hour story notes sessions. Work on a single screenplay or multiple scripts plus get additional notes on your pitch, brand strategy, and career advice - work your mentorship to its fullest potential!
Unforgettable characters who are active and flawed. A strong hook and a clear central dramatic question. Stakes I can feel on every level: external, emotional, and philosophical. Nail those and you've got me!
I'm a writer-producer with a background in grounded political and psychological thrillers, true-story and historical dramas, premium one-hour drama, and character comedy. Right now I'm especially excited to work on: feature thrillers, true-story and historical drama features and limited series, premium character-driven one-hour drama, smart comedic features and half-hour comedies, and family/all-audiences feature animation. I'm also a big sports fan and love a great sports story, whether features or series. I have a strong development and structure background, with a particular ear for dialogue, so I'm especially useful to writers working on tightening concept, structure, dialogue, and marketability. I'm happy to work across other genres too. These are just where I can add the most value.
I'm probably not the best fit for horror, broad fantasy worldbuilding, or young-children's animation (preschool/kids TV, think BLUEY or PAW PATROL). Happy to leave those to people who specialize there.

Exec will read up to 4 scripts in one month (different drafts of the same script or 4 different scripts) and conduct 4x one-hour story notes calls. Calls can also include feedback on your pitch, branding, or career strategy.
If you pay with the deposit/payment plan, your second half will be due the 2nd week of the Mentorship. If you need a different type of payment plan, email dorian@roadmapwriters.com.
**Please note feature screenplays are limited to 120 pages maximum. Please contact terra@roadmapwriters.com for pricing on a Month Mentorship on screenplays exceeding 120 pages.
What To Expect
After registering, you will receive an automatic Order Confirmation email. Then Roadmap's Director of Consultations, Terra Joy, will get your mentor looped in with you! If you do not hear from Terra or the exec within 3 days of registering, feel free to email terra@roadmapwriters.com for an update.
Before starting your Month Mentorship, please ensure you are familiar with our Code of Conduct.
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, 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.
