If you’re looking for a home for your science fiction romance manuscripts, you might want to click on over to “Where to Submit Science Fiction Romance,” at The Galaxy Express. Heather Massey has put together a two-part series on SFR publishers, Part I dealing with New York print houses, Part II with digital and small presses.
While she names many of the usual suspects in the post on digital publishers, (Samhain, Cerridwen, Liquid Silver, and Lyrical, etc.), there are a few on the list that may be unfamiliar to romance writers. Among them:
- Crescent Moon Press
- Desert Breeze Publishing
- Drollerie Press
- Eirelander Publishing (new publisher opening in October)
- Mundania Press
- Whiskey Creek Press
Remember to check out submission guidelines first before submitting your manuscripts to any publisher, not only to make certain you’re submitting material appropriate for that house, but to protect your own interests regarding rights, royalties, and payments. Your goal as a writer is not simply to sell your work, but be sure it sells well, sells safely, and that you get paid.
This site is pretty sweet! I’ll link to it in my next roundup. Thanks for the linkage.
I’d also add that with any new epublishers, sometimes the best strategy is to wait and see. On the other hand, you never know when a risk will pay off. Regardless, where to submit is a very involved decision.
Thanks, Heather!
I’ll second that. Having sold to a publisher that folded very quickly, it means taking a chance. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes not.
