NEW SCI FI ROMANCE E-PUBLISHER LAUNCHES #sfr




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.
