Submissions
This page is for information regarding the submission process for Black Cat Press.
We are looking for manuscripts for our pagan non-fiction line, and pagan romance line in three heat levels:
Sensual, Sizzling and Erotica (Bring out the firehose!)
Our Preferred Genres:
Fiction: Contemporary, Paranormal, Suspense, Fantasy, Science Fiction all revolving around a pagan lifestyle. Druid, Wicca, Witchcraft, Gypsy, Native American and the Fae.
Non-Fiction: Any pagan-related "self-help", pagan lifestyle, spellbooks, "how-to books" and kitchen witchery.
Tips:
Take a plot and make it sensual or as hot as you can stand it, or the story can sustain. No sex, for the sake of sex, the characters must move forward as the flame turns up.
Any and all cultural elements are acceptable, and they must be believable and rich with background stories to support the characters. We love full-figured, curvy romances in any genre and multicultural heroes and heroines.
The hero must be Alpha in character and make him believable with flaws, but so enticing the heroine forgives him anything. We want Happily ever after or Happily right now endings.
Whatever story you query, please remember that the romance is first, middle and last in importance. Use your imagination, but when it comes to the romance, keep it building, conflicted and Sensual to HOT.
Show us the passion, the real heart of your story through your characters. At Black Cat, we like everything pagan. So send your kitchen witch, spell books, faery stories and druid lore.
No previously published manuscripts at this time, we're looking for new, fresh and timely manuscripts. All submitted manuscripts must be stand-alone novels or non-fiction pagan lifestyle.
Length Guidelines:
50,000-120,000 words.
On occasion an anthology will be requested by season, and writers will have an opportunity to submit shorter pieces.
We DO NOT Accept:
Rape, Incest, Pedophilia, Bestiality, Necrophilia, Snuff, Bodily function sex, and Territorial markings are case by case.
If you feel you have a polished and finished manuscript, or want to submit a partial on a non-fiction book, you may submit a query to BlackCatPaganBooks@Gmail.com for consideration by one of our editors. Tell us your name, address, email, genre, subgenres, manuscript length, a short synopsis and a short author bio.
Please include any websites, emails or blogs you will use to generate interest of your book. Marketing is a partnership.We are competitive with our percentages and will discuss our rates upon a contract offer.
Not all manuscripts will be offered in book format, an eBook may be released first.
