We are also interested in working with projects that can be adapted to new media formats.

Currently Richard is interested in...
I'm interested in all that is listed above but would really like to see a good legal thriller with a female protagonist, edgy and/or literary thrillers, adult sf (hard) and fantasy (urban or dark), narrative nonfiction, adventure stories and mouth-watering food and wine writing. I have very broad tastes in nonfiction.

Currently Susannah is interested in...
Non-fiction that is witty, fresh and for the popular market. I like fiction with a happy ending. I'm looking for witty writing, voice- especially in women's fiction- and diabolically clever plotting in mysteries and thrillers. As with everyone in this industry, I want something new and unique but still marketable.
