Particularly Interested In

Love the drama, comedy, action/adventure, romance, period piece, and true story/folklore adaptation spaces, but very open!

With horror, I do enjoy smart horror or horror lite that's more of a slow burn where people are the real monsters, or we have empathy for the ghost/creature by the end. With sci-fi, happy to read as long as it's grounded and emotionally driven, and not overly dense!

Some favorite TV shows: NEW GIRL, GILMORE GIRLS, SONS OF ANARCHY, LUCIFER, THE LAST KINGDOM, VIKINGS, CASTLE, TED LASSO, SHRINKING, TRYING, OUTLANDER, MINX, HEARTSTOPPER, PEACEMAKER, LOVE SICK, THE DIPLOMAT, MY LADY JANE, NORMAL PEOPLE, WEDNESDAY, BILLIONS, KILLING EVE, UPLOAD, THE GOOD PLACE, SENSE8, JESSICA JONES, SEX EDUCATION

Some favorite movies: RENFIELD, TOP GUN: MAVERICK, CRAZY STUPID LOVE, SLEEPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE, DIVERGENT, SING STREET, PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER, EVERYBODY WANTS SOME, VENGEANCE, GUARDIANS OF THE GALEXY #1, BEAUTIFUL BOY, GIFTED, THE WAY WAY BACK, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, SEABISCUIT, UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN, PS I LOVE YOU, THE GRINCH w/ Jim Carrey, BULLET TRAIN, SNOWPIERCER, JOJO RABBIT, STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON, BEAUTIFUL CREATURES, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN #1, SPY, KINGSMAN, CASANOVA, WE BAUGHT A ZOO, THE TO DO LIST, COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO (2002), HER, THE NICE GUYS, MAN UP (2015), A REAL PAIN, MOLLY'S GAME

I feel the least equipped to help with faith-based, Hallmark, Lifetime, spoof, satire, jump-scare and torture horror stories.

More about Terra Joy

Terra Joy started her career in Washington, DC as a journalist and social justice nonprofit advocate where she also managed a documentary film campaign -- resulting in 115+ screenings in under nine months. She was also very active in the local screenwriting community as a member of WIFV. Before joining the RoadCrew, she was a reader for Slamdance. She has read well over a thousand scripts, and has seen the trends in feedback from execs on over 5K screenplays. Terra is also a professional proofreader and formatting editor, and is a staffwriter on Season 2 of FORNICAKES -- an award winning webseries about two polar opposite best friends who open up an erotic bakery in Florida. She's been to 35+ countries, and when she's not connecting awesome creative people with other awesome creative people, she's writing while drinking way too much boba/iced tea, or crafting her next script's dream soundtrack. As a craft nerd and a Virgo with OCD, she loves to use her detail obsession to benefit story development.
