Particularly Interested In
Though I enjoy a variety of genres (with me, often the weirder, the better), I'm really excited by stuff that is dynamic, unique and voice-y. When I read a pilot, I want to be able to see a piece of the writer's soul -- almost as if the writer is speaking to me directly through their characters and stories. I really love reading genre and genre-bending comedy pieces, but I always want to read things in these spaces that are character-forward rather than universe-forward -- more STAR VS. THE FORCES OF EVIL and ANDOR than DUNE, for example. It's so important that genre stories have a way in -- and I think by focusing more on the characters, as characters are the ones that audiences really hold onto, that's how these stories really transcend.

Specifically Not Interested In
I'm definitely not your person to go to with any middle-of-the road things. I'm not particularly interested in political dramas or procedurals (unless you're coming at these stories from a POV that we've really never seen before), and I'm not particularly interested in multi-cam comedies unless they're coming from a unique POV.
More about Lyra Tan
Lyra Tan is currently the TV Literary Coordinator at the Gersh Agency and based in Los Angeles. Before joining Gersh in 2021, Lyra interned at Topic Studios and FilmNation Entertainment in New York City while studying at Fordham University. Lyra's dream is to have the opportunity to champion diverse writers from all walks of life and discover stories for the screen that are both diverse and universal. While diversity is incredibly important, universality is even more so (and everything needs a little sprinkle of magic). Her clients have worked on AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER for Netflix, MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN for Paramount+, POKER FACE for Peacock, THE 4400 for The CW and many other shows. She's the proud daughter of immigrants from the Philippines and has lived in Hong Kong, New York and California.
How it Works

Private Month Mentorship

Each month mentorship kicks off with a preliminary 15-min. call to set expectations and lay out strategy for the month. Writer will have email access to the executive plus 4x one-hour consultations with the exec. Exec will read up to 4 scripts in one month (different drafts of the same script or 4 different scripts) and conduct 4x one-hour story notes calls. Calls can also include feedback on your pitch, branding, or career strategy.

If you pay with the deposit/payment plan, your second half will be due the 2nd week of the Mentorship. If you need a different type of payment plan, email dorian@roadmapwriters.com. 

**Please note feature screenplays are limited to 120 pages maximum. Please contact terra@roadmapwriters.com for pricing on a Month Mentorship on screenplays exceeding 120 pages.

What To Expect

After registering, you will receive an automatic Order Confirmation email. Then Roadmap's Director of Consultations, Terra Joy, will get your mentor looped in with you! If you do not hear from Terra or the exec within 3 days of registering, feel free to email terra@roadmapwriters.com for an update.
