Submissions Call: I Need a Hero

[Georgia Woods]

I Need a Hero

When you think of classic romance, what stories stick in your mind? What do all the best-loved stories have in common? We think that special something is a Hero.

Liquid Silver Books is looking for stories that feature Heroes. Whether these Heroes are on the nightly news, or unnoticed, or hidden as they go about their work, they all deserve that one person who’s not only their perfect partner, but who also brings them a very special “happily ever after.”

These stories’ protagonists must be strong and capable, but should not be perfect – they should feel real, complex, with normal faults and problems, and they should learn important lessons about themselves as they fight to overcome the odds. There can be strong secondary characters, but the building relationship between the protagonists while they battle an intense and gripping conflict or villain must be the main thrust of the story.

Heroes stories can fall within any heat level, fitting our Platinum, Sterling, Liquid, or Molten guidelines - see www.liquidsilverbooks.com/guidelines.htm for more information on our heat levels. But they are romance stories, not erotica - there must be a strong and compelling story linking everything together, not a series of sex scenes. They must be 15K or longer, and can take place in any setting, from small town America to the vast light years of outer space. They can include paranormal elements, such as shifters or alternate worlds, but the underlying Heroes theme must ring true.

Do you have a larger-than-life Hero fighting against all odds in your latest manuscript? If so, we want to see it. We think strong ethics and leadership are in greater need today than ever, and we want to tell stories that showcase these qualities and entice our readers to add new books to their list of favorites.


If you have any questions, drop me an email - Georgia at liquidsilverbooks.com . Oh, and feel free to distribute to your favorite author-ly gathering places.

Oh trust me there are a million plot bunnies in my head. I just need to harness the energy

Hi all! Are you still accepting Hero submissions? Got one I'm polishing up.

[Robin Danner]

If I figure out this revision I'm working on, my prince story might fit the bill as well!

[Rachel Fox]

I can't speak for Georgia, gals, but I think we always look for hero books -- so send away. The specific search was to grab a prospective author's attention and make them think about sending us something.

Hi Georgia. I was wondering if this post is still active and if you are still looking for "a few good men".
My mom once told me that it is better to be a diamond in the rough on a master jeweler's table than a perfect pearl still stuck in an oyster.
My men are definitely real, but full of potential and the women behind them are smart enough to see it, too.
If you are still looking please let me know.
Thanks!

Yes, the "I Need a Hero" subs call is ongoing, so if you have a story that'll fit, send it! We'd love to get more of them.
