Storyville: Where to Send Your Stories
This is going to be a long article filled with lots of names and numbers, but I think when you really soak it all up and study the various genres, it won’t be as intimidating and overwhelming as you may think.
Should You Self-Publish?
I've been getting a lot of emails from people wondering if they should self-publish, specifically on the Amazon Kindle. My answer is always the same: It depends. Here is my advice, based on what I would do.
List of Erotica and Romantica Publishers
Here's a comprehensive list of publishers just in case anyone is interested.The Passionate Pen presents... Romance Publishers
Welcome to the heart and soul of The Passionate Pen! The list of romance publishers and their submissions guidelines was the original purpose for this website. And while The Passionate Pen has grown into a much larger resource, this page is still updated and checked on a regular basis for accuracy. I hope having this listing in one place helps you on your own pursuit of publication. The Passionate Pen Romance Publisher Policy: The Passionate Pen does not list vanity publishers or self-publishing firms.
There’s been plenty written on the web, including this blog, about websites like Associated Content and Demand Media. The problem with these sites is that they use a revenue sharing model which means most people will never earn more than a buck or two for their article. We know your time is more valuable than that, so we’ve put together a list of blogs that will pay you $50 or more for every article that you write for them. Guest blogging is pretty easy and most articles only need to be between 500-600 words. However, most bloggers have high standards, so you’ll want to make sure you’re producing your best work to increase the chances that your post will be published.
