Launch authors include five romance favorites including Debra Mullins and Kate Donovan
International publisher Samhain Publishing® today announced the launch of Retro RomanceTM, a Samhain line dedicated to bringing out-of-print romance novels from the seventies, eighties, nineties and early 2000’s to an entirely new readership.
According to Heather Osborn, Editorial Director, the program is in line with the desire of many authors to find new readers for old favorites—without the challenge of self-publishing. “With the proliferation of eBook readers, authors know they can quickly reach a new audience with their books, but self publishing still has inherent challenges for authors who prefer to spend more time writing than promoting,” explained Osborn. “For authors who have older titles and want to release them digitally, but don’t care to act as their own cover artist, production assistant, editor, or distributor, Samhain’s Retro Romance line is an ideal solution. We take on the work of scanning print books into digital files, copy editing, formatting into all of the various digital formats, creating beautiful cover art, advertising and promotion – and supply authors with a robust built-in distribution. It’s a win-win.”
The line, which launches Dec. 13, includes the following authors and titles:
Sharon DeVita, Heavenly Match
Kate Donovan, Game of Hearts
Patricia Hagan, Love and War
Karen Kay, Lakota Surrender
Debra Mullins, Once a Mistress
