Heather and her editors want to see:

  • Badass and vulnerable Jason Bourne-like heroes

  • Susan Elizabeth Phillips-style contemporary romance, similar to HEAVEN, TEXAS or any of the Chicago Stars books
  • Fairytale retellings—YA or adult—the steamier, the better!
  • Adult and YA paranormal romances with unique, unseen-before creatures
  • New adult featuring main characters in college
  • Accessible YA Sci-Fi a lá Beth Revis’s ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
  • Contemporary romances with a wedding/marriage theme, like Emily Giffin’s Something Borrowed, or Nora Roberts’ Bride Quartet and Lori Wilde’s Wedding Veil Wishes series
  • Contemporary “ripped from the headlines” stories with strong romantic elements, like anything by Jodi Picoult, or Barry Lyga’s BOY TOY
  • NOVELLAS – YA and steamy Contemporary, specifically. Best-friends-to-lovers, brothers in love with the same woman, heroes-in-uniform, and unique situations like Laura Kaye’s HEARTS IN DARKNESS are personal faves.

Things we aren’t likely to request:

  • urban fantasy (no HEA in each book, usually follows the same heroine/hero through series)
  • historical fantasy
  • demons, angels, nephilim, or fae
  • women’s fiction (unless it leans heavily toward contemporary romance, like THE WHAT IF GUY)
  • chick lit (again, unless it leans heavily toward contemporary romance, like BUSTED IN BOLLYWOOD or LUCKY GIRL)
Stay tuned for some exciting announcements and a handful of specific Calls for Submissions…
