Vanilla Heart Publishing
Vanilla Heart Publishing is currently OPEN TO QUERIES in the following genre only: Romance, Romantic Suspense, Mystery, Suspense, Thriller (not gore), Fantasy, Adventure, and Historical Fiction, and while we have a full title lineup through mid-Spring at this time, thanks to our terrific VHP Authors, we are considering additional manuscripts for late Spring through Summer, 2012. Please be aware that we do not publish poetry except as inclusions to specific anthologies. Nor do we publish children’s books, books that are epic in length, or erotica, which we define on a case by case basis.
We do not accept unsolicited manuscript submissions, and these will be discarded with no reply. For our Query and Submission Guidelines, http://www.vanillaheartbooksandauthors.com/Manuscript_Submission.html
Vanilla Heart Publishing is thrilled to announce Melinda Clayton’s debut novel, Appalachian Justice, is the recipient of the Sapphic Reader’s Award for 2011. This award is given annually by The Sapphic Reading Group — an Austin, Texas based reading group of fifteen women founded more than seven years ago to discuss excellent lesbian fiction.
According to the awards committee, “…Criteria for the award includes: original storyline, believable plot, well-developed characters, superior writing style, and quality entertainment. The Sapphic Readers’ Award includes a check and a personalized plaque created by a local artist.”
Congratulations, Melinda!
“Having Chelle Cordero's blog on my Kindle is like having an author here in residence with me. She gives inspiration, motivation, and best of all, practical advice and solutions. I love the ‘writing exercises’ she offers at the end of each blog, as well as the ‘writing prompts’.” ~J.B. Naylor
And now, Kindle owner or not, writers are able to get in on the fun and active lessons from the Kindle Blog—Living, Breathing, Writing, by Chelle Cordero.
Welcome to a complete month of lessons about the craft of writing and being a writer. In the BONUS Section of this book you’ll find more than 50 brain-starting exercises to help you get those words on paper.
These short lessons and activities have been previously published as part of the acclaimed Amazon Kindle blog Living, Writing, Breathing available by subscription for Kindle owners, and consistently in the Top 100, for just 99₵ a month.
