How to approach
Their contact page states they cannot accept or respond to unsolicited scripts, programme ideas or similar creative material, and that anything received is deleted unread. Programme ideas are named alongside scripts, so a one-line concept is covered by the same policy.
Representation is the route. Hartswood is a family-run company of modest size making a small number of high-profile shows, which means very little capacity for reading outside their existing relationships.
The PreList verdict
Who this is for: agented television writers.
Who should skip it: writers hoping a short pitch counts as something other than a submission. Their wording covers programme ideas explicitly, which is the useful detail on this page.
