The three buckets I'm focused on right now are: Light one-hour network procedurals (think BEST MEDICINE or HIGH POTENTIAL), character-driven big idea scifi (i.e. SEVERANCE, PARADISE), YA that doesn't exclusively revolve around romance (STERLING POINT, GILMORE GIRLS). But I generally respond to scripts with strong characters, a unique voice, and a vision for how to sustain a long-running series.
What is most important to me is a writer who is willing to dig deep to find the heart of the story they want to tell and do the hard work of crafting a compelling narrative. It is a big project and very easy to burn out before getting a manuscript to the place it needs to be to be viable in the marketplace so stamina and a willingness to kill your darlings is key.
Romance, faith-based, horror especially slasher/gore, overtly political stories (though open to allegory/genre-based social messaging)
