Harbourlight Books will publish Christian fiction that ranges in length from 25,000 words to 80,000. This announcement comes just nine months after the company acquired White Rose Publishing, a Christian romance publisher of electronic and print titles.<\/p>\n<p>Harbourlight Books seeks to publish all genre of Christian fiction, Martinez said. \u201cEverything but romance.\u201d Martinez said. \u201cRomance will still be handled exclusively by White Rose Publishing.\u201d According to Martinez, there is a need for the expansion of eBook availability within the Christian fiction community. Harbourlight Books will fill that niche, bringing general Christian fiction to the eBook arena where White Rose Publishing fills the gap on the romance side. The popularity of eBooks is on the rise as \u201c\u2026evidenced by the recent Amazon press release that announced eBooks for Kindle outsold hardbacks,\u201d Martinez said. In addition to electronic books, Harbourlight will publish print editions of novels. Submission guidelines are available on the Harbourlight Books website. <\/p>\n<p>Harbourlight Books is dedicated to providing quality inspirational fiction that adheres to mainline Christian teachings. Currently Harbourlight Books is accepting unagented submissions for short stories and novels that are already complete. The company launch its first release in 2011. <\/p>\n<p>Harbourlight Books titles will be available for purchase directly from the Harbourlight Books website and through various retailers such as Amazon, Barnes &amp; Noble, and others.
