Submissions: Currently Closed
Velvet Intrigue Books warmly invites submissions that weave the tender threads of romance into the rich tapestry of storytelling. While our hearts beat fastest for tales of romantic suspense and contemporary romance, brimming with twists and palpable tension, we are also open to the enchanting realms of fantasy romance. Our quest is to discover stories with the potential to blossom into series that will captivate, enchant, and linger in the hearts of readers.
We are particularly drawn to:
- Romantic suspense that quickens the pulse and weaves intrigue through the dance of love.
- Contemporary romance that reflects the complexities and joys of modern love, inviting readers into stories of profound connection and growth.
- Fantasy romance that offers an escape into worlds of wonder, blending the magic of fantasy with the warmth of romance.
Genres and Submitting
While these genres light the way, we remain curious and open to exploring beyond them, ready to be surprised and delighted by your unique voice and vision. We seek full-length novels that promise readers a journey of emotional depth, compelling characters, and unforgettable love stories.
Please ensure your manuscript is polished and ready to embark on its journey to publication before submitting. We are passionate about fostering a community of authors and stories that resonate deeply with readers, and your submission is the first step towards joining this vibrant tapestry.
Submit your manuscript to submissions@velvetintriguebooks.com, starting your subject line with QUERY: followed by the title of your manuscript (e.g., QUERY: Whispering Shadows). In your email, captivate us with a concise pitch, include a brief bio, and share any relevant writing experience. Attach the first 10 pages of your manuscript in the body of your email to give us a taste of your writing style.
Please note, we do not accept unsolicited attachments, previously published works, or manuscripts outside our genres of focus.
We treasure each writer’s hope and dedication and commit to responding to every submission. If, by some misadventure, your submission seems lost in the ether, feel free to follow up after three months. Should we request your full manuscript, our review period ranges from a few days to six months. We appreciate your patience and passion during this time.
For further information, our Author FAQ page might hold the answers you seek, or you can reach out through our Contact Us page. We eagerly await the stories only you can tell, ready to be moved, challenged, and inspired by your unique voice. Welcome to Velvet Intrigue Books, where every submission is a door to new possibilities.
