Before the doors get flung wide open, I thought I&#8217;d take a few minutes to articulate what I&#8217;m looking for this year.<\/p>\n<p>First, though, a wee bit about what the press is looking for in general. This is important:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>At this time, World Weaver Press seeks <strong>standalone titles<\/strong> only, between 20,000 words and 100,000 words. Standalone means the story is complete in one volume. We are not acquiring new series (or books with &#8220;series potential&#8221;) at this time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Standalone titles only.<\/em> I&#8217;m emphasizing this because it could break my heart if I fall in love with a novel concept only to see the words &#8216;part of a series&#8217; in the query letter and have to pass on it. You don&#8217;t want to break my heart, do you?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m always interested in romance with well-developed characters (with good chemistry!) and interesting plots and settings, but this year I&#8217;m particularly interested in titles that fall into one (or more!) of the following categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Time Travel Romance<\/li>\n<li>Steampunk Romance<\/li>\n<li>Non-wolf* shapeshifter Romance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And if you are writing things that don&#8217;t fall into those categories, don&#8217;t despair. I am only one of several editors at WWP and we&#8217;re all looking for different things. So even if your manuscript isn&#8217;t right for me, it might be for one of them!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldweaverpress.com\/submit-fiction.html\">The submission guidelines are right here.<\/a> Be sure to read and follow them &#8212; but don&#8217;t submit until February!<\/p>\n<p>*I love wolf shifters too, but I&#8217;m editing Anna Kyle&#8217;s Wolf King series already \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Weaver Press has an open submissions window coming up very soon &#8212; February 1st, in fact.
