Pitching to Laura offers a wide variety of opportunity for authors:

1.  Man Love Romance and yes, it was the first
publishing house she opened and has been written up in Rolling Stone
magazine as an ‘up and coming’ publishing house for the M/M romance genre.

2.  Passion in Print Press is M/F romances from “Sweet to Scorching” and
covers all the subgenres…paranormal, historical, contemporary, sci-fi,
etc. The focus at PIP is ROMANCE. She is seeking submissions.

3.  Featherweight Publishing is a children to young adult publisher. If you

making a pitch on your work.
