Love hunky Cowboys and sexy Outlaws? Do you write westerns or historical western romance? If so, you might want to check out this fairly new publisher,
Prairie Rose Publications.
From the website:
PRAIRIE ROSE PUBLICATIONS (PRP), is a publishing company devoted to publishing westerns and western romances written by women
PRP is accepting submissions for a couple new anthologies. I've posted some of the info from the website/blog below.
Happy Writing!
PRAIRIE ROSE PUBLICATIONS was opened in August, 2013, by LIVIA J. WASHBURN and CHERYL PIERSON, two authors who saw a need for such an imprint. Usually, when people think “westerns” they think of male authors and male readers—but that’s not true in today’s world. Many women are just as interested in reading—and writing—westerns as their male counterparts; and of course, western romance has always been popular among the ladies!
PRAIRIE ROSE PUBLICATIONS and our other imprints, are looking for some mighty
fine writing from new authors as well as established, well-seasoned authors, and
we have some very exciting projects coming up. Here are a few of them, but
please visit our websites and contact me at
prairierosepublications@yahoo.com or
fabkat_edit@yahoo.com for further information about what's coming
up!
PRAIRIE ROSE PUBLICATIONS
is open for submissions for stories
for our summer anthologies in the historical western romance genre. As of now,
two of the anthologies, LASSOING A BRIDE and COWBOY CRAVINGS have both been
filled.
THERE ARE STILL AVAILABLE OPENINGS IN LASSOING A GROOM AND
LASSOING A MAIL ORDER BRIDE!
LASSOING A GROOM: This collection of stories will be sweet/sensual. The
stories selected for this anthology will have to do with a summer wedding, or
courtship leading up to a wedding—by a groom who might not be so willing in the
beginning. But as women all know, there’s more than one way to romance a man!
Silken bonds and words of love can be just as binding as any lasso. Word count
for each selection will be around 12K, more or less. We want you to tell a good
story and not worry if you run over the word count by a few words. Spots are
limited!
OPENINGS ARE STILL AVAILABLE IN THIS ANTHOLOGY!
LASSOING A MAIL-ORDER BRIDE: This collection of stories will be
sweet/sensual. The stories selected for this anthology will have to do with a
summer wedding, or courtship leading up to a wedding—by a groom who needs a
bride and is willing to order one by mail! What circumstances could lead to a
man advertising for a bride, sight unseen—and a woman in such dire straits that
she travels from her home and everything familiar to marry a man she doesn’t
know? There are any number of situations that “might be”—and we’re waiting to
see what can happen when love blossoms in the most unlikely circumstances! Word
count for each selection will be around 12K, more or less. We want you to tell a
good story and not worry if you run over the word count by a few words. Spots
are limited!
OPENINGS ARE AVAILABLE IN THIS ANTHOLOGY!
SUBMISSIONS FOR ANTHOLOGIES ARE DUE BY APRIL
15, 2014.
