Do you have a tale of motherhood, fatherhood, childhood, or even from the perspective of a grandparent or godparent? If so, we want to hear it. Submit the funny, the sad, the happy, the bizarre, the angst, the heartbreaking, the extraordinary, the good, the bad, and the ugly . . . you get the picture.

Guidelines:

• Creative Nonfiction Pieces only (must be based of real life events)
• Word Count: 3k - 10k (pieces in these ranges are especially of interest: 3k, 5k, 7.5k or 10k).
• Written in 1st person (past or present tense)

NOTE: we welcome any and all writers to submit. Not a writer, that's okay, we still want to hear (read) your story on motherhood.

Accepted pieces are subject to edits prior to publication.

DLG Publishing Partners prides itself not only for having ‘a passion for diverse content’ and striving to foster the growth of their authors, but also in the professional development, success, and educational opportunities of its team. We, here at DLG, are ecstatic to offer internship programs for qualified individuals who are serious about learning the Publishing Industry, as well as becoming a part of our family.

How does it work? DLG Internship Programs work in a two-part segment:

• 1st Segment: interns engage in a trial period (30-days) and are subject to a mentor driven review process at the end of the designated term. Following a positive metric review, the internship may roll into one of two categories: four (4) to six (6) month terms with weekly progress reports and midterm reviews.
• 2nd Segment: at the completion of the four (4) to six (6) month term, the internship is subject to completion with company recommendation; however, DLG may consider extending an internship period, offer a cross-training internship, or promoting the individual, depending on his or her readiness and acquired skillset within the training process, as well as the designated mentors’ ability to take on an Apprentice.

Find a Classic Fairy Tale and twist the storyline.

• Word Count: 28k-32k
• 3rd Person POV (past or present tense, alternating POVs of the female & male characters)
• Genres: PNR, Fantasy, Time Travel, SciFi, Horror, Supernatural
• Setting: present day
• Location: Earth or otherworldly
• Heat Level: sweet/sensual/steamy/romantica

Please pitch your idea. Be sure to list the name of the Classic Fairy Tale in your query. A word of advice, do not try and alter, adapt, or manipulate an already written piece to fit the guidelines of the twisted tale open call. The story will feel forced, and the flow unnatural.

To jumpstart the creative juices, see a list of tales listed below. If you don't find the tale you want to write, that's okay, just let DLG know the name of the classic tale you're modeling.

• Beauty and the Beast
• Cinderella
• The Ugly Duckling
• Rumpelstiltskin
• Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
• The Snow Queen
• Hansel and Gretel
• The Frog Prince
• The Twelve Dancing Princesses
• The Little Match Girl
• The Little Mermaid
• The Princess and the Pea
• The Emperor's New Clothes

At DLG Publishing Partners, we value the written word of the authors signed and are committed to working with individuals who are passionate about the content, brand, and vision of the work they create. DLG recognizes love is universal and comes in many different shapes, forms, and sizes, which is why we’re interested in well-crafted stories, fresh characters, original worlds, and diverse experiences with a realistic or otherworldly feel. Currently, we are seeking stories with fresh, exciting voices in all categories for eBooks and print. If you have something new, exciting, unique, and diverse, we want to hear from you. We accept both agented and unagented submissions that haven’t been previously published; however, in some cases, we will accept some previously published standalones and series on a case-by-case basis.

It is not necessary that all titles submitted to DLG Publishing Partners have a central romance plot, a happily-ever-after, or a happy-for-now ending. Instead, we ask that your story provide a fresh out-of-the-box look into the everyday world, or otherworldly realm of well-developed characters, who face thought-provoking obstacles with heart-racing stakes. We ask that all titles fall within the categorized lengths listed below:

• Short Story: 7k – 12k words

• 4 – erotic (graphic sexual content showing sexual acts)

As always, we are extremely interested in stories with series potential.

• Billionaire Boys/Girls Club
• Crime/Detective Paranormal
• Crime/Detective Themes
• Western Paranormal
• Western Themes
• Paranormal Romance (Shifters of all kinds)

• Send the first 3 chapters (or 30 pages) of the manuscript as a word document (rtf, doc, docx).
