I just love good stories with unique perspectives. Doesn't have to be a specific genre or subject matter, just has to be written by someone with something to say. Additionally, this is a very hard time for writers with original IP so I want to support those projects as much as possible!
I have a degree in art history and have written four period pieces (features) so I understand the delights and challenges of research-heavy projects.
I'm really tired of reboots and biopics. I love freshness!
