Thanks for sharing that, Pat! I'll definitely be taking a look at them.

Subject: [OWFI-Group] Harlequin starts new digital press


Harlequin has launched a digital publishing company, Carina Press, and
is accepting submissions. You can get details here:

http://tinyurl.com/y959tr4

Their submission guidelines state:
(quote) Carina Press will feature books from talented authors in all
genres of romance, erotica, science fiction, fantasy, horror, mystery,
women’s fiction, and more. If the book of your heart fits into a niche
that has very little shelf space in a traditional bookstore, Carina
Press is eager to read and potentially publish your story.

WHAT WE’RE SEEKING…Carina Press will consider shorter length stories
of less than 50,000 words, genre novels between 50,000 to 100,000
words and longer and complex narratives of over 100,000 words.

We expect to publish a majority of romance and erotic romance but are
also very interested in women’s fiction, science fiction, fantasy,
futuristic, mystery, thrillers, horror, and niches. If you have
something new and fresh we would be happy to read your story!Your
passion, quality of writing and voice is what will make your
manuscript stand out and be considered for publication.

At this time we are not acquiring young adult novels. Additionally,
Carina Press is not acquiring non-fiction or poetry of any kind. (end
quote)

They will also buy previously published novels if the author owns the
digital rights.
Detailed submission guidelines are on the web site.

This opens a whole new publishing opportunity. I suspect it is the
first wave of the future.
