Contest Seeking Short Stories for Film and TV Adaptation Launched by Roadmap Writers, Barry Josephson


Roadmap Writers and Barry Josephson have launched a contest for short stories, which have become increasingly popular IP for film and TV.

Roadmap Writers, a screenwriting education and training platform based in Los Angeles, is partnering with Hollywood producer Barry Josephson to identify short stories fit for film and television adaptation. Author Victor Sweetser sold the innovative haunted house film “The Occupant” to New Line this year, and Matt Query got a 7-figure deal at Netflix for his Reddit short story “My Wife and I Bought a Ranch.” Josephson has also acquired the rights to David King’s gripping historical account “The Trial of Adolf Hitler,” with an eye to develop the critically acclaimed novel into a limited series.
