Here at BTGN, we’re interested in stories with strong romantic elements. We love romances and readers do too! Give us a story that hasn’t been told, that has a fresh voice, a strong character/romantic arc, and that can keep us wanting to turn the page. HEA/HFN is required.
We are accepting well-written works of fiction of 10k-30k in word count.
Accepted Genres
We will consider all works of fiction for publication, but we are currently most actively seeking the following genres:
Romance (Including but not limited to: Sweet, Erotic, Erotica, Contemporary, Paranormal, Mystery, Suspense, Steampunk, Time travel, Chick Lit, BDSM)
Mystery & Suspense
New Adult (New Adult is where the characters are around the age of 18-24ish, out of high school or college and starting out in their life. Written in 1st person.)
Anthologies/group projects
Occasionally we at BTGN like to gather some of our best-selling short stories and put them into an anthology after they are a stand-alone publication. If these books meet our requirements, they may also be made available in paperback.
We are always excepting Christmas Submissions
We are looking for well written works of fiction 10k-15k in preparation for one of our favorite holidays. We love Christmas’s stories that focus on the lighter things in life (think romance). If your submission is short story or novella length we will publish the work as a stand-alone, but we may also choose to publish your story as part of an anthology in addition to the stand-alone.
We are not accepting:
Flash Fiction
Fantasy
Memoirs
Poetry
Also, while sex between minors may be depicted offstage or in flashbacks, it should not be described for the purpose of arousing the reader.
