Seakill

Liana is a talented TV writer with a gift for crafting immersive stories. Her journey began at Princeton, writing for a late-night comedy show, where she fell in love with seeing her words performed. This passion led her through roles at a publishing company and a literary management firm, giving her a deep understanding of the industry. Now, as a showrunner’s assistant to Bill Lawrence, she’s honing her craft even further. Liana excels at creating rich, often aspirational worlds, like the unique setting of her project SEAKILL. Coming from a biracial family of Chinese immigrants and Jewish Midwesterners, she’s especially drawn to characters who navigate the tension between different worlds, whether cultural, professional, or personal. She has a knack for making every detail feel authentic and lived-in while keeping her characters grounded and complex. As a former city kid with a deep love for nature and the urgent questions surrounding its future she’s also drawn to environmental themes and strong female characters who defy societal norms. With a distinctive voice and a keen eye for nuance, Liana is a writer who brings depth and authenticity to every project. She’d be a fantastic addition to any writers' room!
