Special Call for Romance Submissions
Daybreak Press is seeking clean (inspirational) romance stories by newbies and seasoned writers. We are looking for stories that are driven by the characters’ faith, exclude intimate details and foul language, and end happily ever after! To submit your work, please follow the instructions for submitting a fiction manuscript (above) and put “Romance Submission” in the subject line of your email.
