[LITERARY COMMERCIAL FICTION] Everyday familial life can seem simple and boring and is often taken for granted until it’s snatched away. Humans are vulnerable mortals who make questionable decisions and are harshly judged by those who either have never been in their situation or simply chose differently in a similar situation.

Siren Guidelines
Cayélle Publishing
Siren explores life and choices often judged by others who can only imagine what they would do, but have no idea.
• Flow: Moderately paced stories with chapter-ending cliffhangers.
• Proven category tropes including unpredictable love and unexpected relationships.
• Stories featuring extraordinary heroines, endearing men, and brave children.
• Strong conflict. Is there a choice between life and death? Is there a complicated situation that isn’t black and white? Define the story lines that reveal how any choice results in painful consequences.
• POV: 1st person POV is preferred, but 3rd POV is acceptable and should be strong. No secondary characters should have their own POV.
• Authors we love: Celest Ng, Margaret Atwood, Abi Daré, Jodi Picoult.
• The heat levels can be anywhere from a simmering spark to blazing.
• Single title manuscripts ONLY and must be complete at 65-90K words in length.
• Age play/Pedophilia
• Bestiality. Steamy shifter sex (in human form) is welcome.
• Edge play. Including, but not limited to, blood, breath, scat/urine, knife, and gun. If it’s not safe, we’re not interested.
• Incest. No blood relatives, please. We do, however, accept step-siblings, and in-laws.
• Necrophilia
• Rape as titillation
