If you only know one thing about Roadmap Writers, it’s probably that we’ve put a huge amount of time and effort into creating a tiered program to give our writers all the tools they need to have a successful career. We call it the Career Writer Program, and when you’re thinking about taking the dive into Step 1, it can all seem a bit overwhelming.

After all, are multiple monthly programs really going to build your marketing skills and materials? And is taking each step in sequence worth it? What can you expect out of the program?

To answer all this and more, Roadmap is bringing together a wonderfully talented and diverse group of our Career Writers to share their experiences in the program!

This 90-Minute Panel Will Cover:

  • Each step of the Career Writer Program 
  • How to get the most out of Roadmap
  • Lessons on pitching and marketing
  • Q&A

Jaime Kawamoto
Screenwriter/Director of Top Tier and Access Programs
Roadmap Writers

Jaime Kawamoto is a proud Japanese-Canadian who writes to free the sarcastic, knife-wielding cheerleader cartwheeling through her brain. In 2026, she has multiple features actively moving forward, including the inspired-by-true-crime thriller THE WAIT, sci-fi book adaptation THE PROSPECT OF MY ARRIVAL and coming-of-age drama PURE IDENTITY. Recently, Jaime developed a fetish horror feature in Jumpcut Media's Women in Genre Incubator, was invited to Stowe Story Labs with a horror feature, and co-created/wrote/produced a scripted podcast series with the Emmy-winning team at Sound Rebels. On the TV front, she was invited to 2025's Nicole Kidman-supported The Writer's Lab with a dramedy pilot about pickleball. Jaime's BFA in screenwriting, along with her time in the Second City Conservatory and Roadmap Writers' Career Program, helps her spin trauma and anger into storytelling gold.

Jaime also runs Roadmap Writers' invite-only Top Tier Program, helping screenwriters build their careers.

Aleks Biskis
Writer

Growing up on the multicultural island of Maui, Aleks spent his youth chasing perfect waves and sneaking on to private resorts' grounds to jump off their sixty-foot cliffs into the ocean. Aleks then found himself telling action-packed stories of the day's adventures around the beach bonfire. Aleks' gravitation towards storytelling pushed him to bring these colorful and creative insights to Hollywood, where he writes stories centering around underdogs with themes of moral ambiguity and class divide. He attended The University of Alabama, with a major in television and film and a minor in creative writing, winning best story at the school's film festival. He then worked his way up through the assistant channels at CBS Network and eventually transitioned over to the writer's room on CBS’ Magnum P.I, MacGyver, AMC’s The Driver and now ABC’s THE ROOKIE, where he is currently the Writers Assistant. Aleks writes action TV, which includes his young adult crime drama pilot that was just selected as the GRAND PRIZE winner in the 2021 ScreenCraft Action & Adventure Screenplay Competition.
