Submissions Guidelines
Changeling Press LLC
Submissions@ChangelingPress.com
We publish Erotic Sci-Fi, Futuristic, Paranormal, Dark Fantasy, and Action Adventure love stories. What's a Love Story? While there should be a highly erotic and romantic element to the book, relationships and endings should be plot driven.
What not to send us:
* All submissions must be targeted for one of the above main genres.
* We're not your grandma's romance -- nobody gets married on page 89 because it's the end of the book and you HAVE to have a wedding!
* We do not accept submissions to existing multi-author series from unsigned authors -- those worlds are the property of the authors who developed them, not of Changeling Press.
* We've only got one heat level. Over-the-top hot! No "Purple Prose," please.
Length: We accept outside submissions from 10 to 25K for single titles. Serials from unsigned authors must be submitted as a complete set.
What to submit:
We accept submissions via email ONLY. If you do not have reliable access to the internet to be able to communicate with us electronically, you do not have the ability to promote your work. We can't work with you.
Please include:
* A short cover letter including your publishing history, if any, a short "blurb," synopsis or chapter summary of no more than 500 words, including genres and themes you're targeting this book, and whether it's a single title or a series/serial..
* Your COMPLETE manuscript, as an rtf (Rich Text File) or txt (Text) file attachment ONLY. No WPS, XML, or DOC files, please. Every word processing program has the ability to save as Rich Text or Text.
* A brief promotional plan, including links to your website, blog, journal, etc., and loops and chat sites where you plan to promote, should we accept your work for publication. Although we have an in-house promo staff, an author's ability to promote her work is critical to the success of any book's sales.
You will also be expected to promote your book through active participation on the Changeling Readers' loop and in the Changeling Insider and our online E-Zine, The Cheeky Changeling, and other regularly-scheduled promotions.
Please Note: "E-Publishing" does not mean No Editing. "Good enough" is never good enough. From editors to proofreaders to artists and marketing staff, our team of dedicated professionals is here for your support. |
