frequently asked questions
Is there a fee to submit?
No — submission is always free. We curate based on fit and quality, not payment.
How long does the review process take?
We aim to respond to all submissions within 2–3 weeks. If your book is a good fit we'll be in touch about next steps.
Does my book need to be published already?
Yes — we list books that are available to buy right now. If you have an upcoming release within 60 days, submit early and we'll time your listing to your launch date.
Can I submit a backlist title?
Absolutely. Some of our favorite recommendations are books that deserve a second life with new readers. Backlist titles are very welcome.
What if my book has both lesbian and straight storylines?
We consider books where the lesbian relationship is central to the story. If the sapphic storyline is a subplot, it may not be the right fit — but feel free to submit and we'll take a look.
