Submissions for Noble Romance Publishing

Now offering author advances up to $1,000.00

We're throwing down the gauntlet. We dare you to push the limits, stretch the boundaries, and send us your hottest, boldest stories.

A Noble erotic romance novel is...

1. A passionate, gripping love story set within any sub-genre. Feel free to mix them up. If it's a good story, we'll want it.
2. A graphic, honest portrayal of human sexuality.
3. Daring, risky, push-the-envelope hot. Our authors are free to explore any sexual fantasy, even those considered too risque for some of our competitors.
   

Noble authors are the creme de la creme. They write the hottest, most explicit sex scenes, while still maintaining the integrity of a thoroughly engrossing romantic plot. Submission Guidelines: (Note: To view special projects calls for submissions please visit here)

• Length: 15-20K novellas, 21K words and up for novels. Trysts are short stories and range between 5-10K words.
• Genres: This is the least of our worries. Seriously. If the story is great, we don't care if it's a historical set on Mars or a contemporary set in the cornfields of Nebraska.
• Sensuality Levels: Scorching. Sizzling. Intense. Someone call 911, this book is smokin' hot. However, no sex for sex's sake. Every sex scene, no matter how graphic, must move the plot forward in some way. Please use honest, "real" language and descriptions that fit your characters' personalities.
• Content: We're open to anything...but remember, these are erotic romance novels. The level of passion between the main characters must be authentic and palpable. Other than that, feel free to explore any new, uncharted territory you can imagine, or re-do a well-worn plot in such a way as to make the story uniquely your own. While "happily ever after" endings are preferred, we are open to "happy for now" endings for series novels, and will even consider non-traditional endings if the story is strong enough to touch a reader's heart.
  

What we will NOT consider under any circumstances:

• Erotica without romance.
• Pedophilia. All sexually active characters must be age 18 or over.
• Necrophilia.
• Bestiality, in the traditional sense of the word. Werewolves and other make-believe creatures are acceptable.
• Incest.
• Snuff.

• In the body of the email, please also include a brief story outline. Describe only the major plot points, the black moment, and the story's ending.
• Please attach your partial manuscript (first 3 chapters), in .rtf form, only. Manuscripts should be double-spaced, and use a standard Times New Roman or Courier 12 pt serif font. When needed, please italicize, rather than underline, for emphasis
