About
This competition is open to manuscripts of all genres.
Breaking into the publishing world can be challenging. It's about connecting with the right agents, editors and publishers, and it could be downright dizzying to find who's right for your work and how to even connect with them.
Roadmap Authors brings authors from around the world it's Manuscript Competition! Roadmap screenwriting competitions have helped writers get signed to A-list reps and now we're bringing the same attention to authors.
