FAQ
How is a single-title romance different from a category romance?
Category romances are shorter, released on a regular schedule in numbered lines, and often follow tighter, line-specific rules; single-titles are longer, sold as individual books, and offer more space for character development and subplots.
Can a single-title be part of a series?
Yes—single-title novels can be part of a loosely connected series (each book focuses on different characters or couples) while still being standalone. They simply aren’t serialized installments of one continuous plot.
What length should I expect from a single-title romance?
Lengths vary by subgenre, but many single-title romances fall between about 60,000 and 120,000+ words. Publishers’ guidelines differ, so authors should check specific imprint preferences.
