New Calls for Romance Submissions

Hi all.  It's been a while since I've posted anything on my blog (I still love you, though) so I thought I would start up again with what I've been busy with these last few months - researching and answering publishers' calls for romance submissions.

Yes, I submitted two stories to Total-E-Bound in the last several months and I have now signed two contracts with them.  I am still sort of reeling over that!

I wish you the best of luck in submitting your romance stories.  From personal experience, my best advice is to keep at it.

Total-E-Bound:  My publisher.  (How sweet that sounds!)  They're always looking for shorter stories or novellas so try one out.  The current themes include bodices and boudoir (historicals), domestic staff, and immortal love, among others.  Something for every taste.

Samhain: Romance with some horror, erotic and "regular".  Again, shorter stories are welcomed as is any story up to 120,000 words.

Entangled: Geek love!  I think of myself more as a nerd than a geek (the difference is subtle) but I would love to take a stab at this call for "geek submissions" - romance stories with a geek as a primary character.

Good luck!
