We’re currently accepting submissions of sapphic romance stories set in the spring with either/both the friends to lovers or best friend’s sister tropes.
This anthology will be for sale with proceeds to benefit iReadIndies, a 501c3 non-profit.
1,000 – 5,000 words. The author of each story that is accepted will be paid $10.00. iReadIndies will retain the rights to your story for 1 year, after which the rights will revert to you.

CHRISTMAS/WINTER HOLIDAY ROMANCE for 2024 – Closed – Not enough stories
We’re setting up an original Christmas/Winter Holiday (includes Hannukah, Kwanzaa, New Year’s Eve/Day) romance short story anthology to benefit iReadIndies like the spring romance one above. Similar, but shorter contract terms will apply. The same payment terms will apply.
We’re looking for stories from 1,000-5,000 words. Stories are due on/by October 25th, 2024. The anthology goes live November 15th, 2024 after a brief pre-order period. One week of direct sales, then one cycle only exclusive to Amazon and in KU.
All rights to the stories revert to the authors after one cycle with KU. You’ll have your work back in plenty of time to include it in ‘Christmas in July’ promotions!
Submit via the form below.

VALENTINE’S ROMANCE for 2025
There will be another Valentine’s Day/week romance email list builder in early 2025. These will be original short stories offered via your own BookFunnel account in 2025 instead of collected into an anthology like we did in 2024. So while you’re in there writing a Christmas romance to benefit iReadIndies, you might want to plot/write a Valentine’s Day one too, to benefit your list.
We used pets as a theme for our Valentine’s romance stories in 2024. For 2025, the theme is ‘Cupid’s arrow hits the wrong person.’
