SFR Brigade member and author Misa Buckley has
launched an e-publisher specialising in science fiction romance. SUNBURST PRESS
opened its doors on May 1st, 2013 with a submission call for Close
Encounter stories, as well as general submissions.
Sunburst has four
imprints:
- SUNBURST: single-title science fiction romance novels of 60,000 – 100,000 words.
- FLARE: novellas of 15,000 – 60,000 words.
- ECLIPSE: dark science fiction romance with no happily-ever-afters/happy-for-nows required.
- CORONA: erotic sci fi romance with hot sex scenes (including BDSM) and multiple partners.
All stories should include well-rounded characters
and plenty of action. Open door sex scenes are preferable, but not mandatory,
and should be part of a growing or an established relationship. SUNBURST includes
novels with LGBT characters across all imprints.
The science fiction sub-genres Sunburst is looking
for includes Apocalyptic, Cyberpunk, Dystopian, Future Earth (Apocalyptic,
Dystopian or other), Space Opera, Space Western and Time Travel. Fantasy
elements can be included if there is a scientific reason for them.
