Accomplice Press is proud to announce a new romance book line called Curvalicious.
Here at Accomplice Press we love a good juicy romance and a few of us are vivacious, full-figured women, so we are extremely excited to bring this series to our readers. The Curvalicious line will be short novella length romance stories that showcase plus-size heroines in a very positive light. These curvy, inspirational women are beautiful, strong, sexy in their own ways and intelligent. The best part is that Curvalicious women always get the man of their dreams without losing weight or changing who they are on the outside. The stories will be available in e-book format with periodic print anthologies.
As publishers and women we feel that there are countless romance lovers who don't see real life females, like themselves, portrayed in the books they read. We offer books that stimulate hope and build self confidence while entertaining with enticingly creative plot lines spotlighting the voluptuous heroine's point of view. Our selections always depict relationships between a hero and heroine that are fully realized by the end of the story with a "happy ever after" or "happy ending for now". Romance novels should be like a warm sunny day in the middle of the coldest winter night, we strive to make that happen with every turn of the page.
"Society and the media have convinced women that men won't find you attractive if you are double-digit sizes. This is reinforced by the romance book industry. The leading terms used to describe a heroine are slender, thin, lithe, small, and tiny. Real women read romances, and real women deserve to be able to relate to the heroines. Romance stories are about fantasies, and as a large woman, I personally do not find it satisfying to fantasize about a man touching a body that I can't relate to. I also happen to know that men love women of all sizes. Sexy comes from within. That is why I created Curvalicious." --DJ Alling, CEO, Co-Founder of Accomplice Press and Editor in Chief
At Accomplice Press we realize that the word "romance" means different things to different people so Curvalicious will have two distinct categories based on the relationship's heat level. Curvalicious Sweet is romance with sweet or sensual love scenes, but no explicit language or sex. Curvalicious Spicy is erotic romance containing explicit language and sex scenes. The first book released in this series is a spicy but touching romance called A reason to Stay by Delinda Jasper. The heroine Ellie is ready to move far away from the home and man she loves because she doesn't feel her best friend Jake will ever feel the same way. After an amazing evening together she wonders if she's lost him forever.
In conjunction with this groundbreaking launch Accomplice Press is holding a Curvalicious writing competition. Beginning on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2010 and ending at midnight on May 14, 2010, we'll be accepting submissions in two different categories, one sweet and one spicy. On May 28, 2010 two winning entries will be announced on Accomplicepress.com, then contracted and published in e-book format by the publisher. The top three submissions of each category will also be included in the first Curvalicious print anthologies. Curvalicious contest entries must be sent to curvecontest@accomplicepress.com. The specific guidelines for sweet and spicy submissions, word count and formatting requirements are all available at our website accomplicepress.com.
Accomplice Press may be a new kid on the block but we aren't amateurs, instead we're perfectionists striving for literary excellence. Accomplice press is NOT a self-publishing company; we are a full service, boutique-style publisher dedicated to being a partner to our readers and authors.
Happy reading and writing…good luck authors!
