Call For Submissions
I Do Unless I Don’t
Publisher: Loose Id
Deadline: February 15, 2013
Payment: 40% of gross sales
Concept: Weddings and June go together. But does the couple?In this submissions call there has to be a wedding prominently involved in the story and some doubt whether the couple who is planning to marry will actually get married or if they will get married the way they planned. Whether they do or don’t is up to you but there must be a romance, lots of erotic heat and a HEA or HFN. Someone is going to end up with the right guy or girl at the end…and maybe even a wedding.
The bridesmaid might finally become the bride, the groom may run off with his best man, the couple who called it off years ago may change their mind again, the wedding planner may have to entirely switch the theme from over the top to an intimate wedding, the rehearsal dinner might poison the guests, the gold digger bride might end up a suspect in her fiance’s murder at the eve of the wedding…it’s up to you.
We would like a complete manuscript in by Feb. 15. Novellas (20,001 words) and up are acceptable. You are welcome to consult with your editor beforehand, of course, or, if you have none, with me or Christy Lockhart. Turn the ms. in to your editor or, if you have none, to looseid.submissions @ loose-id.com and add I DO SUB CALL in the heading.
Release Date: June 2013
Contract Terms:
Loose Id is a royalty-paying epublisher. We hold to the highest standards of contract fairness.
We ask for electronic rights for a term of three years, have a full audit clause, and pay 40% of gross sales for standalone stories sold on site. We do have a series first look clause, but it applies only while the contract is in force, and only if we are not in breach of our obligations under the contract; all ownership in characters, worlds, and ‘themes’ remains with the author. We currently pay royalties on a monthly basis.
We do reserve an option to publish contracted books in print, but we cannot guarantee that a specific title will be published in print.
