Grand Central Publishing to Launch Digital Romance Imprint in February

Posted on January 20, 2012

Grand Central Publishing, part of Hachette Book Group USA, will be launching a digital romance imprint in February called Forever Yours. The name comes from Grand Central's romance imprint, Forever, which debuted in January 2003. The Forever Yours imprint will include digital versions of titles from Forever's backlist.

Publishers Weekly reports that Forever Yours will accept submissions from writers with and without agents. Manuscripts can range from 10,000 to 50,000 words for novellas and up to 100,000 words for novels. Grand Central publisher Jamie Raab told PW that authors will get "competitive pricing, cover design, advertising, publicity, and promotion" as well as "dedicated editorial and sales support" for each title.

USA Today reports that Forever Yours will begin with two novellas that will cost 99 cents on Amazon.com. They novellas are Ember by Kristen Callihan and Once Upon a Wicked Night by Jennifer Haymore.
