R&P Publishing Welcomes You
The Rooster and the Pig started as a little publishing House in Tonawanda, NY, so named because of the Chinese zodiac signs of its original founders. The owners decided the Publishing House would laugh at lines in the sand, and publish whatever tickled their fancy, and push all the shiny red buttons and only worry about whether or not the fictional stories, or poems, or autobiographies, or non-fiction tales were well written and not give a rip about whether they were about men loving men, or women loving women, or men loving women. Those beliefs still hold true today.
So, at Rooster & Pig Publishing you'll find everything from the fluffiest of a romance you could ever hope to lay eyes on, to the rough tough true grit of tales that plumb the depths of the human heart and soul. We wouldn't have it any other way. Come on in. Poke around. Find something you like, scamper off and read it, and then come on back again. Our doors stay open, and there's always something worth reading somewhere around here, no matter what you're in the mood for.
We are currently open to submissions.
We have a new anthology call. October 1-31th: Theme: Interracial Vampire Love . Word count: 10-20k words. One character must be a vampire the other MC must be of a different race than the vampire (for example: if the vampire is black, his love interest must be white or Hispanic or whatever). We are looking for M/M or M/M/M+ pairings only.
Submissions go to: submissions.rppublishing@gmail
