Marketing for Romance Writers.Org is excited to announce our annual “Write-place, Write-time” Submissions event scheduled for September 8th and 9th, 2012.
We have an amazing panel of Publishers and Editors ready to give YOU, aspiring authors or seasoned authors, an opportunity to “pitch your dreams” to a listening audience.
BUT…that ever tricky timing can be a slippery little rascal. So, for you - MFRW is providing a platform of:
“Write-place, Write-time”
Let's say you are on an elevator when...
...the publisher/editor of your dreams steps through the door. Your heart is pumping, your hands are clammy and you know you have a limited amount of time to tell this person about the next New York Times Best Seller for which you have just assigned those coveted words "the end".
MFRW brings you that elevator moment.
OUR SIXTEENTH SPOTLIGHT OF THE MANY PARTICIPATING PUBLISHERS/EDITORS: JMS BOOKS LLC

Non-fiction submissions must be over 30,000 words in length. For non-fiction submissions, query first.
Stories don't need to contain graphic sex scenes or a romantic/sexual relationship between characters. If your story is erotic, there is no minimum sexual content requirement.

What We Don't Accept:
We publish what we like to read. Our tastes are broad, but we don't accept stories which portray GLBT characters or non-traditional sexualities negatively. We don't publish stories containing pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, incest, rape or nonconsensual sex, extreme fetishes, degradation, snuff, watersports, or scat.
We don't publish books with interior graphics, custom fonts, special formatting, or imbedded media. Stories cannot contain quoted song lyrics or quotes from movies or television shows. Any third-party quotes must be approved by JMS Books LLC and may be removed prior to publication if copyright infringement is suspected.
We no longer publish poetry. We don't accept previously published or self-published submissions, unless the story ONLY appeared in an anthology or collection and was not available as a stand-alone e-book. We don't accept novel excerpts or chapters as stand-alone e-book submissions.

Non-fiction submissions must be over 30,000 words in length. For non-fiction submissions, query first.
While we publish YA romance and understand sexual exploration is a part of growing up, we cannot accept any books with explicit sexual content for our Queerteen Press line.
