Dorchester Books is actively acquiring for a new line of speculative romance aimed at a 'younger, hipper audience." Shomi books will debut in July 2007 and will feature paranormal, futuristic or fantasy romances with "a noir-like narrative voice and a heroine caught between realms." The books have Manga-like graphic covers. Senior Editor Chris Keeslar is editing the line. Books should be 85,000 to 95,000 words. Dorchester accepts agented and unagented material. Please send a cover letter telling the genre, word-count and one paragraph summarizing the book, a synopsis of the complete book, and the first three chapters. The cover letter should be "short and sweet." Some of the books they've already acquired for the line include a " post-apocalyptic trucker romance - set during a future
time when the highway system is the only mode of travel" and a book dealing with "time travel and the consequences of time travel (think -The Butterfly Effect)." Check out the website:
