Pitch Tips

Don't stress out too much -- we're just having a conversation! Always remember to breathe and think before you speak -- we all have a tendency to speak too quickly, and it's always best to take a moment to digest things.

Formats Interested In

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.

MARKETING BONUS! If you receive a rating of Excellent or Virtually Flawless in at least four out of five categories (Logline and Formatting/Ease of Reading are excluded) on your consultation feedback report, we'll do one round of personalized marketing to execs (up to 5) for this screenplay for free!

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.
