We publish Sci-Fi, Futuristic, Cyber-Punk, Dark Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, Paranormal, Action/Adventure, Time Travel, BDSM, and Fetish Club Love Stories. All submissions must be targeted for at least one of these genres.

What's a Love Story? While there should be a highly erotic and romantic element to the book, relationships and endings should be plot driven. We do ask for a HEA or, in the case of Serials, a HFN, we don't demand that your characters trot off to get married at the end of the book. Please keep in mind, we've only got one heat level. Over-the-top hot! We can handle anything you send us as long as it meets our guidelines!

We cannot accept outside submissions to existing multi-author series -- those worlds are the property of the authors who developed them, not of Changeling Press. We do not accept simultaneous submissions. We do accept multiple submissions.

Length: We accept outside submissions from 10 to 28K for single titles. Serials from unsigned authors must be submitted as a completed set.

Royalties: 35% of gross paid monthly -- receive your first check within 30 days of publication. Expect to hear back from us about your submission within six to eight weeks.

What to submit: We accept submissions via email ONLY. If you do not have reliable access to the internet to be able to communicate with us electronically, you do not have the ability to promote your work electronically.

Please include:
A short cover letter including your publishing history, if any, a short "blurb" and plot summary of no more than 500 words, including genres and themes you're targeting for this book, and whether it's a single title or a series/serial.

Your COMPLETE manuscript, as an rtf (Rich Text File) or txt (Text) file attachment ONLY. Every word processing program has the ability to save as Rich Text or Text, and we can't afford the possibility of viruses or malicious Macros. We simply won't open anything that could hurt our computers.

A brief promotional plan, including links to your website, blog, journal, etc., and loops and chat sites where you plan to promote, should we accept your work for publication. Although we have an in-house promo staff, an author's ability to promote is critical to the success of any book's sales. You will also be expected to promote your book through active participation in the Changeling Readers' loop, the Changeling Insider, and our online E-Zine, The Cheeky Changeling, and other regularly-scheduled promotions.

Please Note: "E-Publishing" does not mean No Editing. "Good enough" is never good enough. From editors to proofreaders to artists and marketing staff, our team of dedicated professionals is here for your support.
