Roadmap Writers 45 Forward Screenwriting Fellowship

Roadmap Writers is proud to launch the 45 Forward Screenwriting Fellowship, a new initiative dedicated to championing screenwriters who are 45 and older. The fellowship will provide writers with the opportunity to submit a feature or pilot, a one-page personal essay, and a short video introduction to be considered for weekly pitching and Q&A roundtables with execs and reps for 3 months.

Some of the most compelling stories come from writers who have spent years building careers, raising families, overcoming challenges, and accumulating the life experiences that shape great storytelling. Yet despite the industry's ongoing search for fresh voices, many writers who begin their creative journeys later in life or return to writing after other professional pursuits often face unique barriers to access.

The 45 Forward Screenwriting Fellowship was created to help bridge that gap by celebrating experience as a creative strength rather than an obstacle.
