What are we looking for?
Well written upper YA (young adult with the protagonist aged 16+) or NA (new adult) novels that are between 50,000 and 100,000 words. (For romance all heat levels will be considered.)
While we will consider stand-alone books, our ideal submission would be a series with at least 3 books planned. CTP is open to all genres, although paranormal based romance definitely seems to be the most popular with our readers.
We are looking for stories that are unique and breathtaking!
