Tickety Boo Press is a UK small press specialising in producing high-quality science fiction, fantasy and horror hardcovers and ebooks. The press is currently preparing to launch Venus Ascending, a new imprint devoted to romance science fiction. Editor Teresa Edgerton is looking for romance stories in wellrealised fantasy, science fiction, or science fantasy settings steampunk, high fantasy, dystopian, post-apocalyptic, space opera, time travel, alien worlds, urban fantasy.
Elements of both romance and speculative fiction must be integral to the plot. Strong characterisation is essential and she is more interested in stories which focus on the development of a powerful emotional bond between the hero and heroine than in books with long scenes of graphic sex.
