Publishing options for your first romantic suspense novel

First-time authors can self-publish, query agents, or submit directly to an independent publisher. If you want editorial support without an agent, submitting your romantic suspense novel to us is one option.

A straightforward submission path

Editor's note: Romantic suspense

Romantic suspense runs on two engines at once, so editors check that the love story and the danger each keep raising the stakes.

If you're a first-time author with a romantic suspense novel, you shouldn't have to guess where to start. Our process is straightforward: you share your questionnaire, we review what you submitted, and we follow up with next steps if there's a strong fit.

  • Editorial feedback and direction tailored to new writers
  • A clear path from questionnaire submission to publication planning
  • A publishing partner built for first-time voices and thoughtful storytelling
