Launched in November, 2004, Phaze Books has offered a wide selection of erotic romance and women's erotica in eBook and print formats. We are proud to have a number of best-selling and rising stars of romance in our catalog, as well as a Romantic Times Top Pick, an EPPIE winner, and several EPPIE nominees. Our authors include Piers Anthony and Alessia Brio (who edits anthologies published in conjunction with Coming Together), and Lisabet Sarai.

With the exception of our HeatSheets, our 2009 schedule is filled. We are looking for submissions for 2010 and beyond.

Open calls include Urban Phaze, Phaze Rocks, and Phaze Scores.
