* Special call for submissions! Send us your novellas! *
Prism has opened two new lines and our editors are eager to receive your short stories/novellas.
Diamond Facets.
Diamond Facets.
Pure Romance, Everlasting Love
Facets will feature romances between 10-30K that fall under the guidelines of our Diamond romance imprint. Facets should emphasize a romance that snags the reader’s heart right from the start and packs an emotional punch. Whether love at first sight or an old flame found again, a happily-ever-after is a must. Contemporary, historical, westerns, regencies, and suspense genres are encouraged.
Inspired Cameos
Romance that inspires, heart and soul...
Cameos will feature novellas between 10-30K that fall under the guidelines of our Inspired inspirational romance imprint. Uplifting, short and sweet, these novellas should always finish with a happily-after-after. All genres are encouraged, especially angels, Amish, and historical.
Thank you for your interest in submitting to Prism. Prism books are never boring and sometimes step out of the box. If you have written a manuscript that doesn't quite fit other publisher's guidelines, we'd love to take a look.
At this time, Prism Book Group is offering new authors a royalty rate of 40%. If you would like to review our standard contract, you may email contact@prismbookgroup.com with your request.

Please click the links above for more specific guidelines on what we will accept.
Please note:
- We have no interest in reading erotica, erotic romance, or stories where characters engage in casual sex. While natural sexual tension is encouraged in our romances (we want to feel the emotion the hero and heroine feel for one another) we have no interest in books that spend pages on the explicit, physical culmination of those feelings.
- Stories that promote atheism, witchcraft or devil-worship.
- Serious injury, rape, violence portrayed in a positive light
- Hate literature and positive portrayal of negative stereotypes
- Partial works. Only send your story when it is finished and polished!
Please meet our editors below to decide who is the right choice to submit to. Also please carefully review our general guidelines before submitting a manuscript.
Jacqueline Hopper, Acquiring Editor
Jacqueline Hopper never dreamed of becoming a writer until a teacher read her poem to her class. That event alone incited Jacqueline’s interest in the writing realm. However, it wasn’t until after she began taking courses and honing her skills that her short and novel-length stories sold.
Since then, Jacqueline has participated in critique groups, acted as ghostwriter, proofreader and copy editor while continuing to pen her own stories. Her favorite authors include anyone who can pluck her heartstrings, reduce her to tears or make her double over with laughter.
Jacqueline is interested in fantasy, sci-fi, historical, mystery, humorous and contemporary romance. Fresh ideas are most appealing.
Marcy Dyer, Acquiring Editor
Marcy Dyer will accept submissions in any genre but prefers those that fit within Prism's Christian fiction Illuminate imprint: Amish, Angels, Apocalyptic/Futuristic, Comedy, Contemporary, Historical, Holiday, Suspense, Western and Women’s Fiction.
Kerri Nelson, Acquiring Editor
Kerri Nelson discovered her love of writing at an early age and soon became a columnist for her local newspaper winning the Outstanding Young Journalist of the Year Award for her efforts. After a fifteen year career in the legal field, Kerri fulfilled her lifelong dream of publication and is now an award winning multi-published author of nearly two dozen books in every genre under the sun (and moon). With over a decade of writing and publishing experience, Kerri seeks to mentor new authors into the amazing world of publication.
Kerri enjoys anything in the romance and/or mystery genres and is seriously drawn to stories containing a surprise ending. She enjoys humorous heroines, heart-of-gold heroes, and books with the potential for a continuing series of interwoven storylines and characters. Preferred sub-genres include: Contemporary and Historical (Regency and Victorian England era or Civil War American era) Romance; coming of age Young Adult Christian fiction (where teens learn lessons in fun and unexpected ways); and Romantic Suspense or Cozy Mysteries (with a nail biting dose of danger included).
Both established authors and pre-published (new talent) writers are eagerly welcomed to submit. In addition to full-length novels, Kerri is the self-proclaimed “Queen of Novellas” so if you have a short story between 15K and 30K, please send it her way.
