One Monstrous Feast

SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN!

​

Good Intent Press is seeking new tentacled/clawed/furred/feathered friends to feed hungry paranormal romance readers. New voices, debuts, and anyone looking to build their author network while supporting one another are welcome and highly encouraged!

​

OUR AIM

​

We are a collective of independent authors pushing the boundaries of fantasy and paranormal romance. Trysts, Tails, and Tentacles: One Monstrous Feast is an anthology of the newest or lesser-heard voices in the genre. Our aim is to create a cohort of authors, promote creative works, and lift each other up.

​

ABOUT

What happens when the beauty gets to eat that banquet ... and the beast sits down for a meal?

When a Sasquatch joins you for Thanksgiving Dinner?

When a Naga slithers into Holi?  

When being stuffed by just one meat won't do?

​

What salacious tales of tails and tentacles lurk in your psyche?

​

These are the questions we want answered (jabs pitchfork at the sky), and this anthology is the place to do so. Spin us stories of a Vampire invited in for dinner. Of a satyr lost in Napa, and a Kitsune in the cherry blossoms.

​

We are seeking stories with a "Holiday Feast" vibe keeping well away from #edgy territory. Think Cozy Monster Romance, both sweet and spicy.
