Ah, almost forgot: I am now looking for erotica. Not just NC-17 romance novels, but erotica. Or, rather, "romantica" - the sort of erotica that has a vague semblance of a plot, and also a happy ending.

Paranormal and non-paranormal, contemporary, historical, futuristic, totally kinky or more vanilla, threesomes are okay, blah blah blah. If you're not sure, just submit it and I'll read it; the worst I can say is no.

70,000 - 90,000 words. Post submissions only - three chapters, a 2 page synopsis, and a cover letter.

No queries, please, as they tell me nothing about your ability to write narrative.

Spread the word! Yay!

Word is traveling fast on this. I'm really excited about it. I'd been considering TOR as submission potential but now, they're definately on the list.

TOR is also looking for chick-lit!

PERMISSION TO FORWARD GRANTED:

Natasha Panza, an up and coming young assistant in the editorial
department, will be acquiring chick lit novels of 75,000 - 90,000
words for publication by Tor/Forge.

They will most likely be done first in trade paper original and then
in mass market, but we reserve the right to publish these books as we
see fit; we will be publishing them just like all our other books --
that is, in a manner in which we can expect them to sell the highest
possible quantities.

Our definition of chick lit is slightly different from that of other
publishers. We are not looking for the standard New York City/L.A.
shopping/complaining/sex novels, but rather somewhat humorous,
romantic and/or sexy novels about protagonists in their mid twenties
through late thirties who are doing interesting things and lead
interesting lives with whom readers can relate and sympathize. These
novels may have paranormal elements, but we are *not* looking
exclusively for paranormal chick lit.

From unagented authors, Natasha is accepting proposals ONLY -- no
queries. Proposals should contain the *first* three chapters, a 2-3
page synopsis, and a cover letter. Previously unpublished authors (or
authors who have only published in category romance) must have a
completed manuscript. Previously published authors who are unagented
may submit a proposal and a copy of one of their previous books.

Agents, of course, can submit the way agents normally submit.

Natasha is accepting submissions via post *only*. They may be directed to:

Natasha Panza
Tor/Forge
175 Fifth Avenue
New York, NY 10010

Natasha will be at the Romance Writers of America national convention
in Reno, and will be accepting appointments with chick lit writers
ONLY -- she is not acquiring for the sf/f lines, the paranormal
romance list, or straight romance.
