I have broad interests and love a good, character-driven story. So hook me with one!
Horror - appreciate a good one (loved the 2022 film Barbarian) but just not my forte!
Lillian grew up as a first generation Taiwanese-American in the San Francisco Bay Area, went to U.C. Berkeley undergrad, Columbia grad in international affairs, and Cardozo Law School. To her parents' chagrin, she gave up accomplished careers in business, national security, and law to become a full time writer. Lillian has no regrets as she lives by the motto of "you only have one life, so make it count." Lillian draws from her diverse experiences to create authentic worlds and characters who are often outsiders fighting against seemingly insurmountable forces. Lillian believes in the power of story to create worlds where people can connect and belong.
Lillian developed her craft through professional screenwriting programs at UCLA and NYU. She read scripts at Miramax Films in New York and Gold Circle Films in Los Angeles. Her scripts have earned recognition in the Academy’s Nicholl Fellowship, ScreenCraft, Scriptalooza, PAGE International Screenwriting Awards, and Creative Screenwriting Contest.
Lillian has been staffed on Amazon’s REACHER and Netflix’s Arnold Schwarzenegger spy adventure drama FUBAR. She rose from Staff Writer to Story Editor. She's currently developing stories in TV, film, and novel format. Lillian loves dogs, dark chocolate, beaches, uncovering fascinating stories, and seeing the world. She’s repped by Rosa Entertainment and A3 Artists Agency. For more information about Lillian, please visit https://lillianlwang.com.
It was such a pleasure to have Lillian critique the pilot episode of my limited series. Lillian gave a phenomenal, in-depth analysis of my logline, story, characterization, arcs, tone, dialogue, and pacing - the whole nine yards! Her experience and professional insights were top shelf and will no doubt energize my writing to the next level. I cannot thank her enough!
