Here are the key details:

  • Story Length: 10,000 words
  • Setting: Must take place in Ohio
  • Genres: Open to all—contemporary, historical, paranormal, mystery, etc.—as long as there’s a strong romantic element
  • Tone: Sweet to sexy romance (no erotica)

Submission Requirements:

    • Indie authors preferred.
    • Story must be unpublished
    • Professionally edited/proofread prior to submission
    • Author must be signed up on Draft2Digital

Financial Details:

  • Buy-in: $25 per author (used solely for ISBN, cover design, and promotions)
  • Royalties: Split equally among all participating authors via Draft2Digital
  • No publisher cut or additional fees—this is a group effort for mutual visibility and fun!
