Hi guys,
I got this from a newsletter. It's not all too often that an editor comes out actually looking for this kind of thing. I figured I'd post it for anyone who may have a manuscript that fits - or who may want to get working on it.
"Anna Genoese, an acquiring editor at Tor Books, spoke to members of the Romance Writers Association about paranormal/sf/fantasy romances.
She said she's looking for unique and original dark fantasy/sf, erotic fantasy/sf, paranormal/sf/speculative romance/"chick lit". Romantic paranormal mystery/suspense is fine (i.e., J.D. Robb/Nora Roberts, Linda Howard), but she doesn't want straight romantic mystery/suspense. Romantic historical fantasy (i.e., Juliet Marillier, Jacqueline Carey, Delia Sherman) is acceptable, but no straight romantic historicals.
Ms. Genoese tells writers: "The romance cannot be an afterthought--but neither can the plot! The romance should comprise 50% or less of the main story. I am open to non-traditional romances (multi-racial/ethnic, multi-spiritual, homosexual, etc.) as well as traditional ones."
She was very specific about the submissions she wants to see: a 1-2 page synopsis with the first 3 chapters or 60 pages of your work. No simultaneous submissions, no query letters. All submissions must be mailed to:
Anna Genoese Tom Doherty Associates
175 Fifth Avenue
New York, NY 10010 USA
Tor is part of Tom Doherty Associates, which also publishes under the Forge imprint."
