Full details

We are an electronic publisher of sensual & erotic romance and short story erotica seeking creative storytelling and original style.  Because we at Cobblestone Press are selective about what we accept, we are looking for authors to set the standard of writing for this press; authors that show extraordinary ability to weave tales of romance through strong, unforgettable characters, plots that twist and turn with layers of conflict and emotion, and a style that sets them apart from other writers in the market.  
Cobblestone Press is a full service publisher. There are NO fees for the author at any point during our publication process. Your book will be edited, and cover art will be provided. 
Royalty rate is 35% of the cover price and will be paid on a monthly basis. We currently request electronic and audio rights. Print on Demand rights are contracted separately based on length and sales.
We publish sensual & erotic romance stories and short story erotica. All sexually active characters in the manuscript must be at least 18 no matter the time period.
  • Sensual romance stories are what “romance” is all about. These love stories should have strong plots, fully developed characters, open-door love scenes, and a Happily Ever After ending. Must be at least 20,000 words.
  • Erotic romance stories are tales of love with an erotic flavor. They have all of the same elements found in sensual romances, but must use explicit, adult-oriented language when describing the sexual elements within the story.
  • Erotica short stories are all about arousing the reader. These vignettes must have open-door sex scenes using explicit, adult-oriented language. These short stories are not necessarily romances, so a Happily Ever After ending is not required, but a “Happy for Now” is preferred.
For all stories, we prefer you avoid purple prose. If you are unsure of how to define purple prose, check out this informative and hilarious article by Deb Stover: The Purple Prose Eater

Full details  Overview Founded in 1971 by veteran paperback editor Donald A. Wollheim, along with his wife, Elsie B. Wollheim, DAW Books was the first publishing company ever devoted exclusively to science fiction and fantasy. Now almost 50 years and two thousand titles later, DAW has a well-deserved reputation for discovering and publishing the hottest talents in the industry. Many stars of the science fiction and fantasy field made their debuts in the pages of a DAW book, including Patrick Rothfuss , Tad Williams , C. J. Cherryh , Mercedes Lackey , Kristen Britain , Melanie Rawn , C.S. Friedman , and Tanith Lee . Despite its high profile, DAW is still a small private company, owned exclusively by its publishers, Elizabeth R. Wollheim and Sheila E. Gilbert. Betsy and Sheila are strongly committed to discovering and nurturing new talent, and to keeping a personal “family” spirit at DAW—something they feel is all too rare in today’s world of international conglomerate

Full details How can I submit my idea to Quirk? We love smart, original, cool, and fun books! However, each editor has their own submissions policy, so please review their guidelines carefully. Our house policy: We only review digital queries and sample material. No physical submissions, please. Thank you for thinking of us! Who should I contact? Jhanteigh Kupihea (Editorial Director)  loves exceptionally written, high-concept adult fiction and pop-culture-driven non-fiction. If your mystery/thriller has a true-crime or feminist twist to it, send it to her! She loves horror—the more atmospheric and psychological, the better. (Not a fan of violent and gory.) She loves fun, voice-y novels for women, especially ones that focus on female friendships or subvert romantic comedy tropes. Regardless of the genre, she loves anything that breaks the mold and plays with unusual structures, so think of her for your modern update on the epistolary novel or your interactive n
