Anything with fantastic relationships at the core. Particularly romantic relationships - in any genre. But also familial relationships and deep friendships.
I have extensive experience working with the thriller genre and crime drama. These are always popular with buyers so am always keeping an eye out for those that feel unique in some way, perhaps Trojan horsing new ideas and themes into this well-loved, familiar format.
I love shows that really have something to say, and that want to turn the dial in some way and move the conversation forward. This doesn’t necessarily mean with issues, but maybe shedding light on the complexity of characters that society usually overlook. Or showing a mother / daughter relationship in a new way, for example. Ultimately I love scripts where I can see the writer is truly passionate about their show and am excited to talk to new writers I wouldn’t otherwise meet.
