Entangled Publishing, a new exclusive boutique publisher, is seeking novels and novellas in the following subgenres of romantic fiction for publication in August 2011 and beyond: Paranormal and Urban Fantasy, Contemporary, Romantic Thrillers, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Upper “YA†(17 to 22-year-old protagonists) that will appeal to crossover audiences.
Guidelines: All submissions must have strong romantic elements. Novels should be 70k to 120k words in length, novellas should be 20k to 40k words in length. We consider all heat levels, however erotic elements should not be the focus of the story. Revised backlist titles will be considered on a case by case basis.

Call for Submissions – DANGEROUS CURVES Erotic Romance Anthology. Editor Mira Paul is looking for original, unpublished erotic romance stories featuring curvy, voluptuous, full-figured women. Think Cameyn Manheim, America Ferrera, Sara Ramirez, Christina Hendricks, Jennifer Hudson or Wynona Judd. All the stories must have enthralling characters, a strong plot, steaming sex and a happy ever after or happy for now ending. This is not the anthology for your story centering on a woman who loathes the way that she looks. All stories must feature a strong, sexy full-figured heroine who loves they way she looks and feels and who revels in her ample awesomeness. I’d like to see stories about princesses, models, etc., all the glamour occupations that we would see in a “regular” romance anthology. All sexual orientations welcome. Feel free to include kink, roleplay, paranormal and fantasy elements. No historical romance or ménage-a-trois.
Submission Guidelines: Story length is 2,500 to 5,000 words. Email submissions to mirapaul.editor at gmail dot com as a double-spaced Word or RTF attachment with “Dangerous Curves Submission†in the subject line. Please include your name (and pseudonym if applicable), bio, mailing address, email, title of the piece and word count as part of your document. The footer of each page should include your name and page number. Deadline: May 15, 2010.
Compensation: Ravenous Romance short story advance of $10, a copy of the anthology, plus a pro rata share of any revenue/subsidiary rights.
