Breathless Press, a romance and erotic publisher, is accepting general submissions as well as Werewolf Submissions for Halloween. Be sure to check out our Valentine Contest as well:
Genre: We are looking for manuscripts that fall into (but are not limited to one) either: romance or erotic (or any subgenre of the two). We also accept m/m stories.
Length: We classify our lengths as follows:
Flirts: under 1,000 words
Temptations: 1,500 - 5,000 words
Novelette: 5,000 - 10,000 words
Novella: 10,000 - 50/60,000 words
Novel: 50/60,000-100,000 words
File format: We will only accept electronic submissions. Please send a query letter in the body of the message along with the full manuscript: .doc-compatible (or .rtf) file as an attachment.
Query letter: Please include your name and email address in the body of your email. Your query letter should also include your title, genre and word count, a brief synopsis of your story and any relevant credits you may have.
Style: A manuscript should be double spaced between lines, with one space after a period. We prefer italics to underlines, minimal formatting (no single character ellipses or spaces between periods in ellipses, no curly or "smart" quotes, and no fancy characters as section breaks), and Courier New or Times New Roman. The title page should include the title, your name and contact information, an estimated word count as well as the heat rating of your story (see below for details).
