I have two manuscripts that I need markets for can any body give me some suggestions.

The frist is an erotic fantasy romance thriller, novella, that probably made little sense so heres the over view. The main charater is an half dark elf, who falls for a vampire lord while trying to figure out who is killing people in the freak show she works for.

The second is an erotic paranormal romance, novel. It's about three women who are kinda pushed together to figure out how too help one another, deal with whats happening to them. I'd have to get into the whole thing really in detail, but as for the over veiw. One is dealing with being turned into a werewolf and stalked by a vampire. The second is being turned into a vampire and haveing a mental break down due to it. The third has to deal with having feelings for a vampire,but also her own needs as a human.

I hope thats enought info. For the novel I'm hopeing for something in both print and electronic, but would settle for print. Any help would be highly apperciated. Thanks in advance.

The novella sounds interesting. If it meets fantasy conventions I would suggest Changeling or Loose Id depending on length.

I am curious about the second one as a multi-character romance it is a little hard for me to picture. Perhaps Samhain?

Yep, the first there's several markets. The second I need more info on. It first struck me as lesbian... but I'm thinking no?

If it's lesbian then Torquere or Phaze. If it's just multi facited you'd just have to strike a publisher right with that many plot lines going on.

No it's not lesbian, theres just a lot going on. Theres around nine pov characters. With three main pov characters and the rest used when I need them. What would you like to know?
Thanks for the info.

As an ensemble it is probably not a genre romance in the classic sense. So to place it we need to know the genre--proportion of content relationship based, other plot elements, proportion that is sexual--relationship and sex types.

If it is very erotic the new EC line might be worth a go -- if it isn;t then a mainstream fantasy publisher might take it.

Sorry it took so long to get back, I've been busy.
I was actually editing the story we were discussing and while there is a high amount of relationship/ sex I think maybe you were right about heading more toward a fantasy pub with this one. I'm going to hit Changeling with the other one. Thanks for all your help.
