We are delighted you’re considering working with us, and genuinely look forward to sharing your story with us!
Submissions Guidelines
We are interested in romance stories of all kinds; we are not interested in full-on erotica. Ideally, we are looking for romances with happily-ever-after endings. While the stories might include scenes of a sexual nature, even fairly steamy stuff, the core of the story should be about the relationships between the characters.
We are currently open for submissions for:
- Novel-Length Romance
- Dalliances Short Fiction
- Dalliances: Second Chances (Anthology)
- Dalliances: Good Sports (Anthology)
- Dalliances: For the Uniform (Anthology)
We will automatically reject stories where:
- any characters involved in adult activities are younger than 18 years old. (You are, however, welcome to submit stories intended for younger readers.)
- there is non-consensual activity or assault of any kind.
If you are uncertain if your story is something that we might be interested in publishing, please feel free to query us at submissions (at) cupidsarrowpublishing.com in advance of submitting your manuscript.
Please review our Frequently Asked Questions for additional information.

Submissions Deadlines
We are currently open for all submissions
We generally only accept submissions February through September.
We will try to acknowledge receipt of your manuscript within 72 hours. We’ll also try to let you know whether or not we’re interested in working with you to publish your book within 90 days after that. Both of these periods may vary, though, depending on the number of manuscripts we’ve received during that time.
