SUBMISSIONS OPEN for ROMANCE from the Rock

Editors Ellen Curtis and Erin Vance are accepting submissions for short fiction under 7,500 words that fit into the theme of "love / romance." Submissions close October 31, 2026. CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS.

The From the Rock team is looking to spread some love: we want your best meet-cutes, second-chances, hopeful first dates, and endgame romances. While FTR titles have typically been limited to PG-13 content, for this collection the editors are willing to consider submissions with more adult-leaning content. This said, we are not seeking explicit sexual content or erotica for this anthology; sexual content should be "behind closed doors" or "off-screen".  Likewise, cursing should be minimal, and slurs that target a character’s racial, sexual, or gender identity are strictly prohibited. Smoking, alcohol, and drug use should be kept minimal or implied. Successful authors submitting stories with this content may be asked to edit their work to better fit within these parameters prior to printing.
