Become an author

If you’re reading this page, we’d first like to thank you for your interest in our publishing house.
Our catalogue covers three genres: Feel Good & RomCom Romance, Romantic Suspense and Romantasy. If you write stories that are told as series or book series and read like an ongoing saga – with recurring characters, settings and connections between the individual stories – then you’ve come to the right place.

Requirements for your manuscript
In order for us to review a manuscript, it should already have been fully revised. Please do not send us any rough drafts.

The following general conditions apply to our programme:
– Length: approximately 18,000 to a maximum of 35,000 words
– Format: novellas / short novels that are quick to read
– Narrative style: dialogue-driven – for us, characters, relationships and dialogue are at the heart of the story
– Descriptions: atmospheric, but not overly detailed – long, detailed descriptions are not the focus of our program
Our stories thrive on dynamism, emotion and interaction between the characters.

Collaboration
We view our publishing house as a partnership between authors and the publisher. Everyone plays their part in ensuring that books reach readers.
This also means that we expect our authors to play an active role in promoting their books – for example, through a presence on social media, at promotional events, or by engaging with readers.
This collaboration is a key part of our approach.

Digital Publisher
We are a digitally focused publisher specialising in e-books and other digital publications. This enables us to distribute our books throughout the European Union and reach readers regardless of national book markets.

Remuneration
Our remuneration model is transparent and the same for all authors.
35% author’s share per e-book sold, calculated on the basis of the net retail price
The net retail price may vary depending on VAT rates in individual EU countries

In addition, all titles will be added to our Escape Plus portal.
Escape Plus is our subscription service, which gives readers access to our programme.
The revenue generated is distributed as follows:
45% of total revenue goes to the pool of authors
The total amount is distributed equally among all authors
Payments are made monthly, in the middle of the following month
This model ensures equal remuneration, regardless of how many pages have been read or how long a title has been in the catalogue.

International editions
Selected titles from our programme are also translated into, amongst others:
– German
– Spanish
– French
– Italian

This way, our stories can also reach readers outside the German-speaking world.
