write for us!
Violet gaze press believes romance should be as diverse as its readers! All readers should have the opportunity to see themselves in our happily-ever-afters and we take pride in helping create a more inclusive romancelandia.
Help us make tomorrow’s books better by writing for us!
What’s the process?
1
Get Inspired.
Write the romance that only you can write. Take your time, don’t rush your words, and polish your finished manuscript before continuing on to submit to us.
2
SUBMIT!
Make your leap of faith and push send! Answer an existing call or submit your work to us via email.
No physical copies, please.
3
Wait.
This is the not so fun part, we know. Give us 8-12 weeks to read through and consider your manuscript. Every submission is important to us and deserves our full consideration.
4
The News.
And we hope it’s nothing but good news! If we decide to offer a publishing contract you will receive your answer via email.
We hope more of you get the call than not, but if we do not accept your manuscript, please keep submitting!
