Do these covers inspire you? If so, then Pink Petal Books wants to see your novellas (or novels) of at least 25,000 words. One lucky story will receive the cover (which, of course, will showcase your name and title, because you don’t have to use the suggested ones) and a contract with us. Our standard contract pays 40% royalties on gross and we actively pursue third-party distribution channels (where we pay 40% on what we receive). Note: Pink Petal Books reserves the right to contract additional works based from this contest, so don’t think this is a single opportunity. Stories must also conform to our regular submission guidelines (below). Please contact us if you have any questions.

To give you an idea of what we seek, here are the covers with a larger image and a bit about what we envisioned…

This should be a dark, storm-tossed tale. It can have paranormal or suspense elements (both are welcome), and very sensual to erotic content is preferred. Weather themes quite welcome (as are ocean themes).

This can be a m/m tale with BDSM themes. The larger man can also be the one tied to the frame below. Note: I have heard from authors that there has been concern related to this cover image. Please know that Pink Petal Books would never contract, nor condone, any story that depicts hatred or violence toward any group for any reason.
