Cleis Press, in response to the passage of Prop 8 in CA, has a call for submissions for a new book on gay marriage.

Hi all,

I’ve updated my submission guidelines to more accurately reflect my interests.  There’s a slight change in procedure included there as well.  Please make sure to look at my guidelines before you send your query along.

Lori Perkins posted her take on the current trends in the publishing industry that gives a context for the latest news of freezes and lay-offs.  It’s a good read.  As in every other industry in this current economy, it’s time to tighten our belts.

Nathan Bransford’s Week in Publishing recap was a particularly fun read this week with the wonderful reminder (that other industry blogs seemed to forget) that publishers are still buying books.

ETA: Thanks Todd for pointing out the broken link.

I would love to read a Dominant/submissive love story with a happy ending.  Think Carrie’s Story with all the romance left in (in contrast to how the plot unfolds with emotionally unavailable Jonathon).  Extra kudos if that romantic tale is based on your own true romance.

Now get writing!

Happy Birthday to Ravenous Romance!!  Take a look at the site, it’s steamy and stream-lined.

The editorial team includes my colleague, Lori Perkins.
