Screenwriting education and training platform Roadmap Writers is celebrating its tenth anniversary today.

The org has helped 500 writers secure representation to myriad firms including but not limited to CAA, Verve, Circle of Confusion, 42, Anonymous Content, Affirmative Entertainment, Range Media partners, Buchwald Agency and more. In addition, these signed writers have gone on to sell and set up projects with Warner Bros., Netflix, Amazon, MGM, Lionsgate, Starz, Hulu, Bigscope Films, Nicely Entertainment, Stampede Ventures, among others. They have also staffed on such series as Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, We Were Liars, Law & Order, Cobra Kai, Night Court, Bridgerton, Reacher, Poker Face among several others.

Offering classes, hands-on mentorship, script feedback, and curated introductions to working managers, agents, and producers, Roadmap Writers is about fast tracking writers from passion to profession. Currently, Roadmap is averaging two writers signing with representation each week.

“Roadmap Writers was built with one mission: to create real opportunities for writers to take tangible steps forward in their careers, and we’ve been delivering on that for a decade,” said Joey Tuccio, CEO of Roadmap Writers. 

“Proving a company’s legitimacy can be difficult in a space rife with fluff and noise,” said Dorian Connelly, COO of Roadmap Writers. “We always say our best advertisement is to talk to a writer who’s done one of our programs. By consistently providing personalized, high-quality programming, our writers are excited to tell other writers about us. They are the best resource on the legitimate value one can expect with Roadmap from the writer’s perspective.”

Roadmap is celebrating its 10 years of writers’ achievements with an anniversary event at Sorry Not Sorry on tonight.

Recently, Sonja O’Hara emerged as the inaugural grand prize winner of a new writing competition, aimed at discovering commercially viable short stories for feature adaptation, from Roadmap Writers, a program founded by Tuccio and Connelley that connects emerging writers with industry professionals, and Ben Everard’s Everard Entertainment (Netflix’s Yes Day and Family Switch).

Selected from thousands of submissions, O’Hara’s short story “Slay” was optioned by Everard for development. She developed the title alongside Scott Glassgold of 12:01 Films, who in recent years has been instrumental in selling short stories for feature adaptations. Glassgold is producer on the project.
