MARKET NEWS FOR YOUR FRIDAY

Okay, it's not Friday. But it's almost Friday!

Booksforabuck.com actively seeks paranormal and science fiction romance at novel length.

Silver Moon Erotic Books, a division of Coyote Moon Publications, seeks novellas for their anthology Bitten By Love: Romance For All Hallows. Submissions should be paranormal (no other sub-genre) romances with a Halloween theme.

Loose ID wants you if you "unleash your plot and characters from traditional romance and genre fiction conventions to create powerful, inventive tales that delight the most responsive readers in the history of publishing." They're looking for sensual and erotic stories.

At Samhain Publishing, they "encourage authors to let their muse have its way and to create tales that don’t always adhere to current trends." They accept submissions in all genres plus non-fiction, which is a little different.

Qamara Press "explores romantic literary fantasies with a flair for tasteful erotic storytelling." They're looking for cross-genre in paranormal, fantasy, time travel and historical. They are also looking for editors and proofreaders.

Full listings with links are, as always, at SpecRom's Market Update page.

And a bonus note for you blog readers. In his livejournal Monstrous Musings, Realms of Fantasy slushmaster Douglas Cohen interviews Nancy Fulda from the editorial staff of Jim Baen's Universe. She gives insight on what it is they're looking for at that much-anticipated start-up. Read the May 15 entry here.
