In a press release yesterday, Harlequin announced Carina Press, a digital-only publishing house whose ebooks will be sold direct to consumers.
Though most of the ebooks are expected to be romance novels, Carina Press is currently accepting submissions in all genres of commercial fiction. Carina Press will also acquire books that have been previously released in print form, but for which the author has either retained digital rights or had digital rights revert to them.
According to the website, in the "Mystery" category, Carina Press is open to the full range of mysteries, from soft to hard including cozies, procedurals, historical mysteries, and contemporary PIs, especially those in the 60,000 to 80,000 word range. For the "Thriller" category, they're looking for edge-of-the-seat suspense, all types including psychological, legal, medical, and political thrillers.
Advances will not be paid. Authors will receive royalty-based payments only. For more information about submitting manuscripts to Carina Press, visit their FAQ page.
Carina Press plans to launch in summer 2010 and will release new titles on a weekly basis.
