Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
Having spent more than a decade reading book submissions, my advice is simple: Read and follow submission guidelines. Demonstrate why your work is a good fit. Do not submit unless you know and appreciate the mission of the publisher in question.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
Although our focus is on romance—which is classified as "genre fiction"—Generous Press is all about bringing poetry to prose. We want meet cutes and happy endings, but we also want to swoon over metaphor, music, and emotional complexity.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
Romance-curious readers feeling shy about picking up the genre. Reformed literary snobs. Longtime citizens of romancelandia wishing for representation of brown, Black, queer, sick, and disabled love stories. Writers. People who read love poems aloud.
