About
The lack of diversity in Hollywood has been at the forefront of the
national conversation for awhile now. At Roadmap, we want to do our
part to help bring more diversity to the big screen (and the small!),
and for us, that starts with the screenwriters.
That's why we are proud to sponsor the Roadmap Writers Diversity Tribute!
We
launched this initiative in memory of Roadmap Writer Coletta
Preacely-Garcia, who passed suddenly in 2016. Coletta was an extremely
hardworking writer who was always working to better her craft,
tirelessly writing, rewriting, and taking advantage of every opportunity
presented to her to gain skills, make connections, and improve her
screenplays.
This is a monthly competition so writers who are not selected in any given month, may apply again.
Benefits
Each month, we will be selecting one diverse writer to participate in
the Pitch Prep Program (Step 1 of our Career Writer Program) for FREE
the following month. (i.e September's winner will start the program in
October etc.)

Rules
This program is for writers with at least one completed original
Feature or TV Pilot who are ready to tackle the Marketing aspect of
their career and start getting their work out there!
To
apply for this Initiative, please submit a one-page statement in PDF
format highlighting your diverse background and why you would be a
valuable and hardworking member of the Career Writer Program, AND a
writing sample (feature or pilot).
** Writers may submit only once each month. **
Writers who will be considered further will be contacted by the Roadmap Team for a virtual interview.
Roadmap
truly wants the winning recipient to get the most out of the program.
For that reason, winners are expected to attend each session and
complete all assignments to the fullest of their ability. Writers who
fail to complete any assignment or attend any of the classes during the
first two weeks of the program will forfeit their spot for the remainder
of the program.
