SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
· Romance: All Genres.
We are looking for compelling stories love stories between
the heroine and hero as the central element, concluding in a happy ending. Should be
written in the third person singular.
Your story does not need to follow the strict romance novel format. However,
it must deal with the relationships developing between the H/h.
SOME ADVICE ON SUBMITTING A ROMANTIC SHORT STORY
You have invested a great deal of time and effort to write your story . To
ensure that an editor will read it, adhere to a standard presentation:
· 2,500 words maximum
· Use returns (enter) for dialogue and new paragraphs.
· No profanity, offensive language, violence, rape, incest, necrophila, pedophila,
racist statements, alternative lifestyles (ie, BDSM), anything involving animals, etc. etc.
Before you submit, read it critically and ask yourself whether:
· the punctuation is correct, particularly the dialogue quote marks
· the text is free of repetitions, redundancies, and grammatical errors
· there's a literary hook - a literary hook is the few words which will grab
the reader's attention
· the hero/heroine are three dimensional, not two dimensional cutouts
· there's a balance between narrative and dialogue
· there's no author intrusion (i.e., "little did Mary know what was going to
happen")
If you cannot check mark all of the above, go back to the drawing board. Your
work is not ready for submission and you are courting rejection, even if
your story is terrific.
