About Us
We are a small, boutique publisher of quality women's genre fiction who work with a select number of authors per year. We enjoy stories with laughter, heart, and lots of clever plot twists. We don't publish books with graphic gore or sexual content, which makes our books perfect for sharing with your eighteen-year-old daughter or your eighty-year-old grandmother. Our titles are available in most major online retailers and by special request from brick & mortar bookstores and libraries.

Submissions
We are currently CLOSED to submission of new works.
If you are an established author with a backlist that you are looking to rebrand and republish, please feel free to send your inquiry to: hallidaypublishing@gmail.com
We publish novels in the cozy mystery and humorous romantic mystery genres only!
​
60,000 - 80,000 words in length
Please no graphic sex or gore. Think network television ratings level, not HBO.
We are looking for novels that feature strong, independent, proactive women sleuths,
hot, enticing heroes and a heartwarming romance,
and a clever mystery with lots of twists and turns.
We prefer a rich whodunit with a lot of suspects where the reader is surprised at the end.
We love humor! The funnier the better!
We are open to both small town AND big city settings.
