Send a Query to City Owl Press

Thank you for choosing to send me your query! My tastes vary widely, so if you're on the fence about whether you think I will like your submission or not--AND it fits into one of the genre categories I'm looking for--send it anyway! If it's not a fit for me, I'll get back to you ASAP so your manuscript isn't tied up with me longer than necessary. ***Please note! I'm focusing on high-heat romance that fits the Mystic Owl guidelines, but I'm open to City Owl submissions that blow me away, as well. Thank you, and I look forward to checking out your story!

A few things to note:
***ROMANCE IS REQUIRED FOR BOTH CITY OWL PRESS AND MYSTIC OWL. There MUST be a HEA or HFN in each book.
***On a scale of 1-5, with 1 being clean and 5 being scorching, I prefer heat levels at least 3, and Mystic Owl *requires* a heat level of 3 or higher. (The hotter the better!)
***WE DO NOT PUBLISH YA. Young Adult submissions will be automatically rejected.

***PLEASE do not query another editor from City Owl Press or Mystic Owl Press at the same time. We will determine internally whether your query should be forwarded to another editor(s) within the publishing house.
