“Every book must be a compelling romance, with a great love story and passionate, explicit sex. While our stories do not have to end happily-ever-after, we want the fantasy of “happy-for-now” in every ending. We look for stories with strong, alpha heroes, creative world-building, compelling plots, and hot sex. Our readers want to explore their romantic and sexual fantasies while reading our books, and your story needs to take them there.”

So says my employer, Ravenous Romance. And, as one of Ravenous’ acquiring editors, I’m happy to consider completed novels between 50,000-60,000 words and novellas of roughly 15,000 to 30,000 words.

Our bestselling categories? Male/male, lesbian, shapeshifter, and menage. However, I will consider works that fall into in any Ravenous Romance category.
