Characters with strong convictions that explores moral grey areas and displays a sense of humor along the way.
Hour-long high concept, philosophical dramas a la THE LEFTOVERS or LOST that is propulsive with an ensemble cast.
Weird, upmarket fiction! Strong, likeable protagonist, but perhaps a bit of an unreliable narrator.
Specifically would love international, culturally rich stories from writers of color.
I'm a teensy bit open to romantasy, but will be insanely selectively, I'm looking for a really unique and kooky hook into this genre. And please, no fanfic!
Superhero stories or contained toxic relationships.

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.
