THE DOs:
THE DON'Ts:
* First, read our Sunpenny web site and information thoroughly.
* Be sure you understand the guidelines and the way we work before you send your query.
* Send a query letter with short description of your book, short bio of yourself, and 1 to 2 page synopsis - not chapters or m/s.
* Supply an email address if you have one.
* Supply a properly stamped self addressed envelope if you want your material returned.
* If you have no email address, and you want to know your work arrived, include a stamped self addressed post card for us to pop into the post.
Specific guidelines for Rose & Crown submissions:
Although submissions need not be overtly Christian or on Christian topics as such, at least one character should be a Christian, and Christian characters should not be involved in inappropriate activities. No matter what the topic, your manuscript should imply a Christian viewpoint of life, and of course the hub of the story should be romantic.
Please be sure that you understand the Inspirational Romance genre and its various styles! For examples to look at, click Here. Please avoid blasphemy, foul language, gratuitous sex/sensuality, violence, racism, and hate speech -
even if by a non-Christian character.
TO QUERY BY EMAIL please click below to open an email message. You will need to replace "-AT-" with "@" in the address - apologies; a necessary anti-spam measure:
query-AT-roseandcrownbooks.com
TO QUERY BY POST send your query letter to:
Jo Holloway - Rose & Crown Books,
Church Cottage North,
Ferry Road,
Carleton St Peter,
Norfolk NR14 7BD,
United Kingdom.
Please include an email address unless you don't have one, and if you want a postal response or the return of your material please include a properly stamped, self-addressed envelope that is adequate for its purpose. Please ensure you put enough postage on both the outer and inner envelopes; we will refuse mail for which we have to pay a surcharge. Thank you. :-)
* Don't use staples!
* Don't under-stamp your envelopes!
* Don't send chapters or your full manuscript until we ask for them!
* Don't neglect to read all our guidelines before you contact us.
* Don't send us romance manuscripts that are clearly secular; this imprint is aimed at Christian based works - even if the Christian references are only slight, the tone should satisfy a Christian audience.
* Don't submit to us unless you genuinely know and love this genre, please.
