Sugar and Spice Press
Online Publisher Produces Interracial and Mainstream Romance Novels
Sep 5, 2009
Romance novels represent an enormous portion of the book publishing market. In mass market paperbacks, more than half are romance novels. This has made the Internet a fertile ground for new romance book publishers to spring up to meet the ongoing demand for romantic fiction.
Online Publishing
One of the trends in online publishing is online publishers that produce both digital and print books. Sugar and Spice is a new publisher, but it is quickly establishing itself as a romance novel publisher to watch. It fills several little-served romantic niches, and it gives new romance novel writers the choice of many different book lengths. There are romance books available from Sugar and Spice that are as short as 5,000 words and as long as 90,000 words or more.
The price of each digital romance novel is dependent on the length of the book. The shortest books are available for download for $3. The longest romance novels available from the publisher are sold for $7.50. The romance books are available on the Sugar and Spice site in several formats. The ebooks can each be downloaded as a PDF, as an HTML file or as an LIT file.
Print Books
Print romance books are also available from Sugar and Spice. The same titles available as ebooks are also available in print. The publisher uses Amazon and Lulu.com to sell the books. PayPal is the only option for buying a romance ebook book from the site. To use another method of payment, Amazon and Lulu take other types of payment.
Erotic Romance Novels
Like most romance novel publishers, Sugar and Spice Press has a category of erotic romantic fiction. These are categorized as Spice Erotica, and they feature the mixture of romance and erotica that is popular with both online and print romance publishers.
Interracial Romance
One of the specialties of Sugar and Spice Publishing is interracial romance novels. This category of romance can be hard to find from a mainstream romance novel publisher, but these niche romances are plentiful from this publisher.
Fantasy Romance
Sugar and Spice has several fantasy romance subcategories. Among these are werewolf, shapeshifter and vampire romance novels. The romance publisher also has a sci-fi romance subcategory. These subcategories can be combined with the main novel categories, creating erotic vampire novels, sci-fi inspirational novels, and paranormal romance.
Help for Romance Novel Writers
The site has tips available on the site for aspiring romance novel writers. The site accepts unagented submissions. Each category of romance novels on the site is described in the submissions guidelines to help romance novel writers to write exactly what the publisher is looking for.
