"We're excited to announce that we have listened to many of our readers, and are now actively seeking romance with African-American heroes and heroines. These should be contemporary love stories of approximately 100,000 words, set primarily in the United States. This is not a 'line'. Each author will be packaged, and developed, individually. So, if your manuscript has the unforgettable emotion, irresistible characters--especially the hero--and sizzling sensuality that are hallmarks of Avon romance please send it right away."
How do I submit a manuscript?
Please note Avon's new submission policy
To submit your historical or contemporary romance, please query first. We strongly urge you to query by e-mail. Your query should be brief, no more than a two-page description of your book. Do not send chapters or a full synopsis at this time. You will receive a response -- either a decline or a request for more material -- in approximately one to two weeks.
Please e-mail your query to avonromance@harpercollins.com
Thanks for stopping by.
