Submission Guidelines

Manuscript Wish List: (includes but is not limited to):

• Romance- Any sub genre including Romantasy and Dark Romance. Please include trigger warnings for dark romance. Would love a fun new take on historical romance. We love a good romantic comedy, but also enjoy romance that goes beyond the relationship.

• We’re especially interested in YA, racially diverse characters, or characters with disability, chronic illness or mental illness, Deaf characters, and  LGBTQIA+ stories.

• We are looking for Mystery and Thriller, specifically in YA, but with the right premise we might take on an Adult Mystery/Thriller.

For now, we are not the right publisher for nonfiction, horror, middle grade, literary, poetry, short stories, inspirational/Christian fiction, picture books, screen plays, or chapter books. Memoirs may be accepted depending on content.

• Be absolutely sure your writing is the best it can be! At this juncture we do not have a big enough editing team to do large developmental edits. Make sure your characters have a strong arc, and all loose ends are tied up.

• Format your manuscript properly. We’re not overly strict about minor details, but we do expect manuscripts to align with industry standards
