Submissions

We will buy outright steamy erotica novellas (20k to 50k words) and novels (50k words and up) from talented ghostwriters. We want a well-written, character-driven romance, with high heat levels (think Hot, Harder or Rock Hard) in one of the following tropes:

ALPHA MALES

ENEMIES TO LOVERS

ROCK STAR ROMANCE

SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE

MAKE IT HOT, MAKE IT HARDER

Your manuscript should be in US English, spell-checked, grammar checked and above all sense checked, with intelligent and feisty characters, who have real flaws and challenging inner conflicts.  Plots should be fast-paced, with barriers for the hero and heroine to overcome on their way to a HFN or HEA. Sex should be hot, heavy and happen within the natural growth of their relationship – romance should be central to the story development.

Your work should be original, not previously published and if you’ve submitted it for consideration elsewhere, let us know. Work should be submitted in a Word document – .docx, .doc – or similar, 12 pt and in a sensible font to make it easy for our editors to read. We are looking for native English writers only.

Send the first three chapters of your manuscript to submissions@hardmoonpress.com, with a one page synopsis. Please also outline your previous experience. If you have ideas for a series, we’d like to hear about that also.

You will receive a response within one calendar month, with feedback. By submitting the first three chapters and synopsis, you understand:
