Happy Tuesday!
I spent the weekend pouring over about 200 different epublishers and narrowing them down. The following epublishers are:
- Currently still in business
- Currently seeking submissions for romance
- Accepting unagented submissions from new writers
I should note that the list doesn’t include erotica only epublishers or Inspirational/Christian only epublishers. That being said, many of the listed publishers do publish erotic romance and/or inspirational in addition to other genres.

There you have it, a pretty comprehensive list of epublishers that are currently accepting submissions from unagented authors.
Best advice…
- Research each potential publisher.
- Rank them in order from your first choice to your last (Pay attention to longevity and stability of the company, royalties and/or advances, services they offer and how they market and distribute your book.)
- Start submitting according to their guidelines
You should add Astraea Press to your list. With its first published digital books in February 2011, this press is new, but is going strong, is still accepting submissions, and accepts from un-agented/new writers. It is primarily a secular press (not exclusively inspirational publisher), but DOES specialize in cleaner reading, with sweet romances and YA fiction.
And in a few weeks, Entangled Publishing will launch.

Thank you both! I checked out Astrea and Entangled Publishing and they both look like great additions to the list.
