Rachel Kenley will be editing three new anthologies for us this year!
Dangerous Curves
Size
doesn’t matter – not when it comes going for dreams and goals or when thinking
about love and romance. For this anthology Riverdale Avenue Books is looking
for authors to give us your non-traditionally accepted weight main characters
(and, yes, by traditionally accepted weight we mean skinny) who are going for
big dreams and big love. Nothing airbrushed to perfection. Show us their love
for life, their appetite for success, and their passion for… passion.
LGBTQ+
and underrepresented characters/voices are welcome and encouraged.
All
submissions will receive an acknowledgement email and a response by or before April
16, 2019. Please inquire about reprints. Original, previously unpublished work
is preferred. Payment is prorated share of the epub, print and audio royalties

Retold
Fairy Tales – The Villain Wins
Sometimes
it’s so very good to be bad. And why shouldn’t the villains have their chance
at love? If Maleficent can have her happy ending –can’t some of our other
favorites?
Riverdale
Avenue Books is looking for retold fairytales with a specific twist – the
villain is now the hero/ine and has the happily ever after. Wolves win over
those who might harm them. Witches seduce and enchant. And good little boys and
girls? Well, theirs are the motivations that come into question. Familiar and
foreign tales are welcome, just put the villain at the center of your story.
LGBTQ+
and underrepresented characters/voices are welcome and encouraged.
All submissions will receive an acknowledgment email and a response
