At this time our
current needs include:
We
are accepting submissions from all genres.

and mystery stories.
Romance
-- we are looking for fast-paced, character driven
novels where romance is integral to the storyline.
Novels can be in any era, any location and can have
fantasy/paranormal elements, however our historical line
is limited to the 19 century or earlier.

Guidelines
Only
submit finished works please. We don't want to
wait for you to complete your novel if we're excited
about your initial submission. Word counts are to
be approximately 25,000 words for novellas, 70-80,000
words for full length novels. Be sure to proof read your
manuscript thoroughly. Your manuscript should be double
spaced, New Times Roman 12 point, with one inch borders.
No footers or headers.
Simultaneous
submissions are acceptable, as long as you let us know
in your initial query, and do be sure to notify us if
you've accepted an offer elsewhere while your manuscript
is still under consideration with us.
Your
submission package must include the following:
1)
A professional query letter which includes the title of
your novel, target imprint, word count, genre, a brief
biography and your contact information. Include this in
the body of your email.

length. Attach it to your email in RTF format.
3)
First three chapters, saved in RTF format and attached
to your email.
4)
A promotional plan, showing short term and long term
goals. While your submission won't be won or lost on the

what you can do to help promote your novel. Saved in RTF
format and attached to your email.
