Submissions
HeroesandHeartbreakers.com welcomes submissions of original romance stories in all subgenres (erotica, contemporary, paranormal/urban fantasy, women’s fiction/chick lit, historical, romantic suspense, etc).
We are not interested in “true confessions” or other non-fiction material.
- We are looking for short stories (15k-30k words), novellas (30k-50k words), and category-length
- Simultaneous submissions are allowed.
- Original stories acquired for this program are edited by both in-house editors and freelance editors who are experts in the romance genre.
- We pay $1,000 to $2,000 (depending on word count) against a 25% royalty. (The royalty enters the picture with respect to downloadable versions of the work.) Although we will consider edge cases, “original” means original—not previously published.
- Please do not query first. Due to the volume of submissions, we regret that we are unable to send responses for queries or for submissions that fall outside the word count specified.
- In your cover letter, please include the following:
- The subgenre of your story
- Confirmation that the story has not been previously published
- If you are a published author, and if so, for whom you write
- If your story is connected to a larger universe in which you already write
Stories should use standard manuscript format (Our preference is 12 point, Times New Roman, double-spaced.) and be emailed as Word or RTF. Please send it with a cover letter including the elements described above to submissions[at]heroesandheartbreakers[dot]com .
