Nephele Tempest Hosts Open Submissions Call

TKA Agent Nephele Tempest is hosting I'M IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, a week-long submissions festival on her blog. Here are the deets excerpted from her blog:

"In honor of Valentine's Day, I am currently accepting pitches here on the blog for any novel that falls within one of the genres I am presently seeking (list below), as long as there is some sort of romantic relationship in the book. It does not have to be the focus of the book; this does not have to be a romance novel. But most novels have a little flirting or romance in them, even if it's not the primary subject, so this is going to include plenty of projects.

Accepted genres: Literary fiction, contemporary/mainstream fiction, women's fiction, historical fiction, romance (including contemporary, historical, paranormal, and romantic suspense), young adult fiction (no children's or middle grade please), steampunk, and urban fantasy.Your book needs to be completed and ready to be sent out. This means revised and edited and in a state that makes you proud."

This event ends on February 14th. Click here to visit Nephele's blog and get more details!
