I’m always on the lookout for interesting pitches!

I particularly love family saga stories. People reckoning with long buried secrets. Or the cost of one person’s decision to an entire family….but the brief is wide. I also love confession style pieces / a glimpse inside someone’s love life / pieces that examine modern manners.”
