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!

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.
