Talisa Chang

I’m a television writer for hire.

My recent pilot script, MEEK— a 1hr vampire dramedy— quarter-finaled in Final Draft’s Big Break 2023 competition and semi-finaled in the We Screenplay Diverse Voices Competition.

Over the strike, I helped organize rapid-response pickets with WGA members on the east coast. Before that, I worked as a researcher, pitch deck maker, and writers assistant for showrunner Bash Doran on several tv and film projects in development.

I have a side-consultancy helping people find their narrative for what’s next. Previously, I freelanced in tech for 12+ years, consulting on information architecture, user experience research, product design, and marketing – all while honing my scathing critiques of capitalism. 

I’m a co-creator of Self Evident, an audio-documentary podcast and radio show that tells Asian America’s stories to go beyond being seen. Since June 2020, I’ve been facilitating a multi-racial, multi-generational abolition discussion group with friends and family.

I’ve also worked as reporter, copywriter, event producer, educator, audience manager, and participatory newsletter runner. I studied Film & TV Writing through the Stonybrook University MFA Program and hold a BA on “The Politics of Language” from Gallatin at NYU.
