Publishing to begin January 2024. Deadlines will be extended as needed, based on date of participation onset. No limit to the number of contributions to the series, but only one book per month for authors contributing more than a single work.

Numbers are allowed if only in relation to a continuing publication. IE: Death of John Doe I (Acquainted with the Crown Series), Death of John Doe II (Acquainted with the Crown Series).

We ask that the contract be signed within 24-48 hours of joining the group. If you need time for the fee, we are willing to consider requests on an individual basis. Please contact us to discuss options.

You are responsible for publishing your book on time by the 10th or 25th of each month (based on your chosen date) you choose to publish in. You retain all rights and royalties to your book. Our participation contract will be emailed to you upon receipt of your submitted interest.

This series has no end date like anthologies do, so you would leave the book up indefinitely. The participation fee covers your entry fee and book cover that will be created by our designated designer.

We will not be asking for part of your royalties or rights, you retain them ALL. Just make sure that you or your publisher has the book up and available on the publishing date, as previously stated. Pre-orders ARE allowed.

Your story must:

be historical drama (contemporary romance that connects to a historical figure acceptable; historical figure can be fictional)
include a crowned royal, but the crowned royal does not need to be your primary character
