Masque Books is looking for Science Fiction and Fantasy romance for three special releases.
Space Opera/Planetary Romance — 25,000 to 30,000 words, action and romance, well-developed external conflict. Deadline April 15, 2013
Supernatural Spies — 25,000 to 30,000 words, must include a spy and romance must drive the story. Deadline April 15, 2013
Original Crackfic — Masque defines Crackfic as stories so compelling that “total world annihilation couldn’t make readers put it down.” For this collection, they’re seeking “compulsively readable paranormal crackfic romance—high on the smexy.” Books should have steamy sex, over-the-top but believable plots, and traditional romance tropes are a plus. 30,000 to 75,000 words Science Fiction, Fantasy, Urban Fantasy or Paranormal Romance. No deadline.
Masque pays a $100 advance and royalties of 50 percent of net receipts. Check out the guidelines here.
