Erotic Romance
Publisher: NAL (New American Library )
Editor: Kerry Donovan

NAL (New American Library ) is new to the erotica market, but editors are actively acquiring. They’re looking for “sexy, exciting, erotic romances with high concepts and original voices” for both the NAL Eclipse and NAL Heat imprints. They would like dark, violent, frankly sexual romantic suspense. Their experience has been that novels do better in erotica than anthologies.

NAL publishes a number of first-time authors each year. They are definitely open to new authors. They do accept unagented queries officially, but the reality is that unsolicited material is in the last place for response and it may be a long time before you hear back on unsolicited material. They also officially accept email submissions, but hard copy is preferable, as their spam filter blocks a great deal of email submissions. They have no set word length for manuscripts, although Ms. Zion (editorial director) said that ‘200,000 words is too many trees and 40,000 words is not enough trees.’

Kerry Donovan is interested in romance of all types and erotica, mysteries and women’s fiction. Send your queries to New American Library, 375 Hudson Street, New York, NY 10014.
