ImaJinn Books:

UPDATED August 2023: They do not appear to be acquiring books any more and are publishing very few through the imprint.

UPDATED May 2021: They have been acquired by BelleBooks/BellBridge. The ImaJinn imprint is still publishing paranormal romance, science fiction and fantasy romance, and the occasional urban fantasy, but most of the straight urban fantasy and SF/F/horror is handled in the Bell Bridge imprint.

ImaJinn books is a print and electronic publisher of a wide spectrum of romance novels. They publish everything from new adult to contemporary to fantasy. Their print books are published on demand, and they seem to sell most of their books through Amazon, so don’t expect a distributor.

However, many authors do stick with them for a long time, either publishing different novels with them, or a full series. This is usually a good sign.

Their covers are all over the map to me, but I am not a romance reader, and therefore not their target audience.

Their website is easy to navigate and focuses on selling books, not recruiting authors. My only complaint is that at least three of the links to buy novels on Amazon were broken, which is not ideal.

They are interested only in full length novels from 50,000-90,000 words. Submit a query email with the full manuscript attached in .doc or .rtf form. Attaching a detailed synopsis is also appreciated, but not required. They try to contact all authors via email within six months of their initial query.
