Welcome Authors
Calling All Romance Authors! 📚💕
Hey There, Literary Lovebirds!
Ready to make readers swoon? We're absolutely obsessed with featuring amazing romance authors and their heart-fluttering stories on our shelves! Whether you're penning steamy enemies-to-lovers tales, cozy small-town romances, or epic fantasy love stories – we want to hear from you!
What We're Looking For:
📖 Romance Must Be the Main Character Your story should have romance front and center – not hiding in the background like a shy wallflower at prom! We need those butterflies, the tension, the swoons. And yes, we absolutely need that HEA (Happily Ever After) or HFN (Happy For Now) because our hearts can't handle anything less!
Series with cliffhangers? No problem – just make sure the series wraps up that romantic journey with a bow!
🌍 Authors From Everywhere Welcome! Unlike some bookshops, we don't care if you're from next door or the other side of the world! Great romance knows no boundaries, and neither do we. Local, international, or somewhere in between – if you write swoon-worthy stories, we're here for it!
✨ Quality Over Everything We're looking for well-crafted stories that make readers stay up way too late because they just can't put it down. Professional editing, engaging plots, and characters we fall head-over-heels for!
❌ We are not accepting YA Romances
❌ We do not accept any books that have used AI for artistic purposes in any capacity
Ready to Steal Our Hearts?
If you're nodding along thinking "Yes, that's totally me!" then we're practically vibrating with excitement to read your submission!
or send us a copy of your works!
The Fine Print (But Make It Fun):
⏰ Patience, Sweet Authors We read every single submission with the enthusiasm of someone binge-reading their new favorite series, but our small team needs up to 8 weeks to get through everything. If you don't hear back, it just means we're not the right fit this time – but that doesn't mean you're not absolutely amazing!
💖 You're Already a Rockstar Listen up, wordsmith: You wrote a BOOK. Do you know how incredible that is? Whether we feature your story or not, you've already accomplished something most people only dream about. You took characters from your imagination and made them real. You created worlds. You made people believe in love. That's pure magic, and we see you! ✨
Plot Twist: Things Might Change!
As we grow and learn (kind of like character development, but for bookstores), our submission process might evolve. Check back for updates – we promise to keep things as fun and author-friendly as possible!
Ready to make readers fall in love? We can't wait to discover your next favorite romance!
With love and literary excitement, The Romantasy Bookstore Team 💕
