We are seeking novels and novellas in the following subgenres of romantic fiction for publication in January 2012 and beyond:
* Paranormal and Urban Fantasy
* Contemporary
* Romantic Thrillers
* Science Fiction
* Fantasy
* Upper “YA” (17-22 yo protags) that will appeal to crossover audiences
Please note: At this time, we only accept agented historical submissions.
Guidelines:
* All submissions must have strong romantic elements.
* Novels should be 70k to 120k words in length for all genres except contemporary romance, which should remain under 90k, and contemporary YA, which can be as low as 50k.
* Novellas should be 20k to 40k words in length
* We consider all heat levels, however erotic elements should not be the focus of the story.
* Revised backlist titles will be considered on a case by case basis.
* We accept both agented and unagented submissions, though agented submissions receive first priority in the slushpile.
To submit a manuscript for consideration, please paste the following into an email:

* The first five (5) double-spaced pages
