Particularly Interested In

For fiction, I love psychological suspense, revenge stories and upmarket horror (think more SILENCE OF THE LAMBS than I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER). I'd also love to see some fun romantic comedies and I'm presently on a real Gothic kick. For non-fiction, I'd love to see more sports projects and I'm always on the hunt for compelling true crime, current events, and political projects.
