I have not had any experience with most of these publishers, so they are not recommendations – just sites I (or other people I know) have come across. Feel free to add a comment if you’ve had good/bad experiences with any!

I know as soon as I post this I’ll think of someone really obvious that I’ve missed off!  At some point I will set up a page so that the information on this post can easily be found.

  3. Thank you for this, I've added a few more to my bookmarks.

    Other ones I have bookmarked (but no experience of) are: Avon Romance (Impulse), MiraInk, Sapphire Star, Trestle Press, Rogue Phoenix, Changeling, Turquoise Morning, LazyDay, The Knight Agency and then there's the obvious Harlequin/Mills & Boon. Sorry for lack of direct links but they don't usually work in comments anyway.

  4. Great post. Don't know about others, but I can vouch for Beachwalk's lovliness and Harlequin :o) No bad experiences as yet. x
