PRAIRIE ROSE PUBLICATIONS CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR SUMMER ANTHOLOGIES by CHERYL PIERSON



PRAIRIE ROSE PUBLICATIONS is open for submissions for stories for our summer anthologies in the historical western romance genre. As of now, two of the anthologies, LASSOING A BRIDE and COWBOY CRAVINGS have both been filled.

THERE ARE STILL AVAILABLE OPENINGS IN LASSOING A GROOM AND LASSOING A MAIL ORDER BRIDE!

LASSOING A BRIDE: This collection of stories will be sweet/sensual. The stories selected for this anthology will have to do with a summer wedding, or courtship leading up to a wedding—by a bride who might not be so willing in the beginning. How is her intended going to “lasso” her and woo her to be his bride? That’s what we want to know, too! Word count for each selection will be around 12K, more or less. We want you to tell a good story and not worry if you run over the word count by a few words. Spots are limited! ALL OPENINGS ARE FILLED IN THIS ANTHOLOGY.

LASSOING A GROOM: This collection of stories will be sweet/sensual. The stories selected for this anthology will have to do with a summer wedding, or courtship leading up to a wedding—by a groom who might not be so willing in the beginning. But as women all know, there’s more than one way to romance a man! Silken bonds and words of love can be just as binding as any lasso. Word count for each selection will be around 12K, more or less. We want you to tell a good story and not worry if you run over the word count by a few words. Spots are limited! OPENINGS ARE STILL AVAILABLE IN THIS ANTHOLOGY!
















LASSOING A MAIL-ORDER BRIDE: This collection of stories will be sweet/sensual. The stories selected for this anthology will have to do with a summer wedding, or courtship leading up to a wedding—by a groom who needs a bride and is willing to order one by mail! What circumstances could lead to a man advertising for a bride, sight unseen—and a woman in such dire straits that she travels from her home and everything familiar to marry a man she doesn’t know? There are any number of situations that “might be”—and we’re waiting to see what can happen when love blossoms in the most unlikely circumstances! Word count for each selection will be around 12K, more or less. We want you to tell a good story and not worry if you run over the word count by a few words. Spots are limited! OPENINGS ARE AVAILABLE IN THIS ANTHOLOGY!

COWBOY CRAVINGS: This collection of stories will be spicy/hot. The stories selected for this anthology will definitely take place in the heat of the summer and will feature some hot western men—cowboys, outlaws, lawmen—who will make not only the heroine but the reader crave the happily-ever-after outcome that’s sure to happen! What’s not to love about these strong, tough heroes or bad boys finally getting what THEY crave—a good woman to love! Word count for each selection will be around 12K, more or less. We want you to tell a good story and not worry if you run over the word count by a few words. Spots are limited! ALL OPENINGS ARE FILLED IN THIS ANTHOLOGY!


SUBMISSIONS FOR ALL ANTHOLOGIES ARE DUE BY APRIL 15, 2014.

  1. Look at those covers! Every time I think surely I'm over my awe at Livia's cover-creation genius, I'm wrong. Those are lovely!

  4. WOW! These covers are outstanding. Romance and love oozes from all of them. Miss Livia is truly an artist. Wish I had the time to write a story for one of these. That Cowboy Cravings one is sure tempting. Regretfully, I just don't have the luxury of time. If only I didn't have to sleep or eat or find time for family. *sigh* Wishing you much luck in finding a whole passel of good authors.

    1. Linda, I wish you could, too. But I understand being in a time crunch...perpetually. LOL Maybe you can do one for the next anthology we plan. We've already gotten some good stories coming in. I'm really looking forward to these! And you are so right--Livia is a cover genius (and a many-other-things-genius as well!)

    1. Doris, I know we are all just so excited about this--and I have one of the best jobs ever--getting to preview all these stories when they're sent in! LOL

    3. I had to wait many years to be able to realize my dream of writing and publishing. Thankfully, I'm able to sleep as late as I want to now, because I usually am up until 1 or 2 a.m. every night. LOL If I was still working the old day job, there'd be no way. Bless you for always being so supportive! Hugs, Doris!
