FLIPSIDE NOVEL SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
You can email your submissions to publisher@flipside.ph. However, before you submit, read the guidelines below.
HOW TO SUBMIT
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
FLIPSIDE FLAMES (ROMANCE): We’re looking for single-title romance novels with a substantial storyline that focuses on the fantasy of true love. The story must feature and develop a central romantic relationship between two complex characters. These characters do not have to end up together by the close of the story, but the novel has to end on an optimistic and emotionally satisfying note. Works should have a length of 25,000 – 30,000 words. We are looking for Contemporary Romance (CR), Historical Romance (HR), and Paranormal Romance (PNR) novels. For a clearer definition of these subgenres, you can check the definitions presented in the Romance Writers of America website.
FLIPSIDE FLAVORS (ER0TICA): Check the guidelines here.
FSSF (FLIPSIDE SPECFIC): We’re looking for novels that contain strong elements or sensibilities of science fiction, fantasy, horror, magic realism, alternate history, folklore, superheroes, slipstream, or related nonrealist genres and subgenres. We welcome both traditional narratives and works that play with form. While we appreciate literary and philosophical depth, formal inventiveness, and social critique, we do not want to be bored, boggled beyond cognition, or preached to. Works should have a length of 40,000 – 60,000 words.
COMPENSATION AND RIGHTS: We offer a PhP10,000 (roughly US$240.00) advance against royalties for works we accept. We claim exclusive, first, world electronic publishing rights for seven years, subject to renewal. Further details about compensation and rights will be included in the contract.
