Black Lyon Publishing is acquiring

Black Lyon Publishing (http://www.blacklyonpublishing.com) is a new publisher (established January 2007) publishing romance in ebook and trade paper formats. Black Lyon seems to be aiming to fill a niche other publishers aren’t. They’re interested in acquiring ’sweet’ romance. Sexual tension is a must, but no swearing and no graphic sex. Contemporary romance may have an urban or rural setting. Manuscripts should be 40,000 - 60,000 words. On the historical romance side, the editors prefer European set stories that take place between 1000 and 1600 AD. 60,000 - 90,000 words. Paranormal romance may be steamier — in fact, these books should have a “dark, sensuously gothic feel.” 60,000 -90,000 words. The editors are also actively seeking historical romances set prior to 1000 AD for a new Ancient Times Romance line. 60,000 - 90,000 words. The editors prefer email submissions. Guidelines are available at their website.
