Let’s find your
readers.
We’re looking for addictive, emotionally charged romance from agented and unagented writers.
What we want
Completed adult and crossover romance manuscripts between 45,000 and 100,000 words, especially billionaire, romcom, mafia, sports, and genre-blending stories. We love irresistible chemistry, a confident voice, emotional urgency, satisfying happily-ever-afters, and work from underrepresented perspectives.

- A synopsis of up to two pages, including the ending
- The first three chapters or 10,000 words
- A short author biography and relevant publishing history
- Any important content notes
Accepted formats: PDF or DOCX, up to 10 MB.
