In addition to a tight, killer script, every TV project needs a strong series bible or deck to help convey sustainability and its role in the marketplace. And execs commonly ask for pitch decks for features as well! So submit your Series Bible, Pitch Deck (20 pages max each), or both, and the exec will conduct a 30-minute notes call (1-hour if submitting both documents) to help you clarify and sharpen the supplemental material to help your marketing efforts.

I am more likely to connect with the story if you pitch me on the people who live it.
Horror, thriller, and sci-fi with a social bent.
Excessive gore and body horror. It's not for me.
Kyle Andrews is a working screenwriter, producer, and actor, with over a decade of experience helping film and TV writers of all backgrounds level up.
Kyle is currently in active development on the production of his feature horror script H(A)UNTED, which he is producing with Margaux Susi (K-POP DEMON HUNTERS) and is executive produced by Leah Daniels Butler (EMPIRE, THE BLACKENING) and Henry Butler (TIFFANY HADDISH GOES OFF). His upcoming comedy thriller short film DOT is being directed by Emmy and Peabody award winning director Jonathan Ade.
Previously, Kyle was CEO of FilmFrontier Studios, where he produced the cosmic horror feature THE VEIL, which played at several industry and genre festivals including Austin Film Fest and the HP Lovecraft Film Fest, and can now be seen on Tubi, Amazon, Apple, and YouTube, where it has amassed over a million views.
Kyle has also written and/or produced several podcasts including both fiction (A PLACE CALLED FAIRNECK) and docuseries (TINSELTOWN GHOST STORIES, THE DIRECTORS SERIES). He occasionally hosts his own creative empowerment show MAKE YOUR SH*T.
An Emerson College graduate, he has continued to mentor students through their ELA Advisor program. He has a particular affinity for genre films with a dash of comedy, but he's most interested in finding incredible characters who drip with authenticity on the page. Aside from writing and producing, Kyle is a SAG-AFTRA actor. He is repped by ATB Talent and Sandstone Artists. He lives in Los Angeles with his partner Jenna and their dog Stella (but he's also a cat person).
I really appreciated Kyle's energy and enthusiasm. It gave me the boost I needed to get through a pretty heavy re-write that I hadn't been looking forward to!

After registering, you will receive instructions on how to submit your material in your order confirmation email. After submitting your material, please allow about 3-4 weeks to receive proposed times for scheduling your call with the exec. If you haven't heard from your exec by the 3-4 week mark about scheduling, please email terra@roadmapwriters.com so we know to check in with them on your behalf about their proposed dates/ETA for you.
PITCH DECKS: These are visually-driven documents (20 pages max) that use images and short paragraphs of text to demonstrate the tone, world, character insight, key plot points, stakes, and theme of the series or feature. If the Pitch Deck is for a show, it will use some of the same sections of text as your Series Bible, but will be less extensive. When creating a pitch deck, always make sure that you are using images of a consistent size and quality, and that you use the same font, color code, margins, and other design specifications throughout. Click here for a Pitch Deck example! Want more insight? Consider signing up for our Creating Professional Level Pitch Decks webinar!
SERIES BIBLES: These supplemental documents are text-only (20 pages max), and can get requested when marketing any sort of TV show. Among other things, they should demonstrate what makes your characters unique and captivating, the focus and evolution of their arcs, the rules of the world, the hook of the story engine, the intended tone and theme, as well as why YOU are the best person to write this show from this perspective. Here's example #1 and example #2. Note: The formatting and organization of Series Bibles has changed since these examples were created, but addressing these sections in your own Series Bible will be a great starting point to make sure you're answering questions before they're asked.
**Please note series bibles and pitch decks are each limited to 20 pages maximum. Please contact terra@roadmapwriters.com for pricing on a consultation for material exceeding 20 pages.
Be sure to familiarize yourself with Roadmap's 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 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.
