About

2 members set this publisher as a Favorite.

We want to create a home for literary-quality romance fiction: books so well written that every sentence is a delight to read aloud.
We want our queer, BIPOC, and sick/disabled communities to turn to Generous Press novels as a source of pleasure and abundant joy. Perhaps you're a poet, graphic novelist, or memoirist who moonlights as a romance novelist—or maybe you're just genre-curious. Or you've written in this genre for years, but love the idea of working with editors who will push your prose to be as musical as it is gripping. If these descriptions fit you, and if our mission lights you up, we want to read your book.

Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to people who identify as LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and/or disabled.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • For book publishers, it is standard to submit a cover letter, synopsis, and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
