[SCI-FI/FANTASY] How often do we fantasize of worlds different from our own? Perhaps a sprinkle of the supernatural to solve unsolvable problems? Surges are more than tiny green aliens from universes we’re too afraid to explore. A Surge is a spike in our beliefs based on the intricately layered worlds presented to us by the architects of the future.

Surge Guidelines
Cayélle Publishing
A Surge is a world built beyond what the average human mind can accept as reality.
• FLOW: Moderately paced stories with chapter-ending cliffhangers.
• AGE RANGE: Young Adult, Teen, New Adult, and Adult are accepted.
• Proven category tropes including, but not limited to, human mutations, alien invasion.
• Protagonists: Alpha heroines, beta/alpha heroes, and anti-heroes who provide hope in scary situations. We are huge fans of strong and capable female characters.
• Savvy Villains and strong conflict. This is a huge deal. Even villains should be likeable and have strong conflict with the protagonists.
• Authors we love: Cālix Leigh-Reign, Tomi Adeyemi, Stephenie Meyer, Sabaa Tahir.
• POV should be split 50/50 between the hero and heroine. 3rd person POV is preferred, given the expansive world-building required in this genre. No secondary characters should have their own POV. First POV is still acceptable.
• Single title manuscripts must be complete at 70-98K words in length.
• Series title installments must each be complete 50-85K words in length and be presented as serialized packages.
• 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
