Barbour Books / Heartsong - Getting Your Book Published

Barbour Books / Heartsong wants "wholesome" stories with no graphic sex, no premarital sex, no overt violence, no strong language. They do take unagented submissions. They want a query letter, a synopsis and then the first three chapters. They do this via email.

My only real concern here is that out of the eight romance novels I have, maybe two of them (or three with some work) will fit into their guidelines. So if I start publishing with them I would still need another publisher for my other novels. I suppose I will handle that if I get that far.

I intend to send them a query on Knowing Yourself once I write up the full description for it.
