His recent work includes selling an original comedy feature to Nickelodeon, an action thriller to Byron Allen’s ESMP feature studio, a broadcast medical procedural to Universal TV, and a half hour adult animated series to TBS/HBO Max starring Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Additional work includes aiding in the development and production of DISENCHANTED, the sequel to Disney’s ENCHANTED, and collaborating on series in partnership with studios including Universal, Sony, Skydance, and Starburns Industries (“Rick & Morty,” “Anomalisa”).

Previously, Bersani served as Manager of Scripted Programming at ThinkfactoryMedia (HATFIELDS & MCCOYS, TEXAS RISING, SUN RECORDS) where he furthered the development of cable network pilots STRIPPED by Liz Sczudlo for TBS, Jeb Stuart’s THE COMMANDERS: JEFFERSON for History Channel, and #FASHIONVICTIM, directed by Mark Waters (MEAN GIRLS) and written by brother Daniel Waters (HEATHERS), for E!/UCP. Additionally, Bersani handled development and production on multiple Lifetime and Hallmark cable network features, including TERROR IN THE WOODS and OSCAR PISTORIUS, both written by Amber Benson. Prior to that, Bersani worked at the Kaplan Stahler Agency as the Television Literary Department Coordinator.

How it Works

After registering, you will receive instructions on how to submit your material in your order confirmation email. After submitting your material, please allow 3-4 weeks to receive proposed times for scheduling your call with the exec.

**Please note book consultations are limited to 60 pages maximum. Please contact terra@roadmapwriters.com for pricing on a consultation exceeding 60 pages of your manuscript.

Be sure to familiarize yourself with Roadmap's Code of Conduct.

Questions? Email terra@roadmapwriters.com

Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your registration for a refund or Roadmap gift card if you have not yet submitted your material for review. However, once your material has been received by Roadmap, your registration cannot be canceled. Having revised material or a desire to retroactively apply a discount or gift card code are not grounds for cancellation, refunds, or gift card credit. Once your material has been submitted, the only acceptable grounds for cancellation and a refund or gift card credit is an unforeseen, ongoing emergency on the part of either the writer or the exec resulting in more than 6 weeks without any scheduling update from the exec via direct contact or Roadmap, or a sudden change in the exec's ongoing availability. In the instance of an irreconcilable scheduling issue, the writer may still receive a written feedback report from the exec. In this case, the writer is not entitled to a refund or gift card credit as the exec has read the submitted material and provided written feedback in lieu of the call.
