I discovered a new small press fantasy publisher via Fantasy Debut this week! Bell Bridge Books is an imprint of Belle Books, based in Georgia. A lot of us Smyrna Writers write fantasy, urban fantasy, noir mystery, horror, etc. From the looks of it, it seems like BBB would be a good potential market for us. The parent company has been publishing since 1999, so they're stable. Like Samhain, they publish e-books with POD paperback versions. And from the reviews and snippets I've found, it looks like their books are high quality fiction.
I've been considering entering Voice of the Bard in the Golden Hearts, RWA's unpublished fiction contest. The ladies at Wet Noodle Posse almost have me convinced. All the "Noodlers" are Golden Heart finalists and have spent the past couple of weeks talking about the contest, answering questions, and providing tips and strategies to prospective entrants. Check out their blog!

Yes! Enter 'Voice of the Bard' in the Golden Heart!
Thanks for the shout out, Mel!
Hi, all
My Google Alerts discovered your post about Bell Bridge Books. Hello! I just want to invite all of you to submit proposals for fantasy novels. We're open to all types of fantasy, although we're not avidly looking for romance voices, but instead for edgy, darker stuff. We'd love to find more YA fantasy like our first two books, MOONSTONE and BITE ME. We welcome queries by email at bellebooks@bellebooks.com.
Esri, thanks for stopping by! And thanks for all that great info at WNP!
I'm very excited to have heard about Bell Bridge, Deborah. Not only as a potential publisher, but your new releases look right up my ally as a reader. Thanks for stopping by!
