They say they are drawn to writers with strong authorial voices, and to dramas that take creative risks and bring unfamiliar worlds to audiences.
From their own submission guidance.
How to approach
Their contact page states that because of the volume of correspondence they only read material sent in via a recognised agent, and cannot accept unsolicited scripts, treatments or pitches.
What makes this entry more useful than most closed doors is that they publish what they want. They describe being drawn to writers with strong authorial voices and to drama that takes creative risks and brings unfamiliar worlds to audiences. If your agent is choosing where to send a distinctive, difficult piece, that is a stated brief to aim at rather than a guess.
The PreList verdict
Who this is for: represented writers with something singular. Their stated interest in authorial voice and unfamiliar worlds is a real signal, and it points away from the safe and the derivative.
Who should skip it: cold approaches, and conventional material even through an agent. A company that advertises an appetite for risk is telling you what it will decline.
