SUBMISSIONS

I. What we are looking for:

Thrilling Adult and New Adult Romance and Speculative Fiction in the following subgenres:

• Contemporary Romance
• Historical Romance
• Paranormal Romance
• Sci Fi Romance
• Romantic Suspense
• Dark Fantasy
• Urban Fantasy

What will attract us to a story: well-written and strong but flawed protagonists, deep characterdevelopment, and exceptional world-building. We are always looking for original ideas and unique voices.
