Exclusive: Following the conclusion of the WGA strike, which has sent writers scrambling to either dive back into work or look for new opportunities, Roadmap Writers has reopened its free Support Staff Initiative, which helps get scripts from emerging talents in front of execs and literary reps.

The door is open to writers’ room support staffers of all kinds, including writers assistants, showrunner assistants, Pa’s, script coordinators,...
