Launched in August 2024 by Australian author T L Swan, Keeperton is a new press with good distribution. You can learn more about its launch here. They describe their publication by saying, “Keeperton is a publisher that takes immense pride in our commitment to prioritising authors at every step of the publishing journey. We understand that each author has a unique voice and story waiting to be heard, and we are dedicated to ensuring that they are at the heart of everything we do.”

You can read their full “about us” here, but Arndell is their signature imprint, and so far, all the books they’ve published are under the Arndell imprint, which only publishes Romance. They are also open for submissions of Crime & Thrillers, and Children’s Fiction, and of Romantic Fiction for their Keeperton imprint, which I’ve also reviewed.

T L Swan has been publishing her own work alongside a number of other authors including Kandi Steiner and Susie Tate. You can see what they have published so far here. 

You can see Arndell’s general submission guidelines here. Please read them carefully before proceeding to the submission form link here.

On the submission form link they share the following information about what they really want to see in terms of submissions: “Arndell is actively seeking standout manuscripts across a variety of romantic genres and sub-genres, with a particular interest in Romantic Fiction, Romantasy and Holiday Romance. We’re drawn to compelling voices, emotionally immersive storytelling, and worlds (real or imagined) that sweep readers off their feet. Whether your story is grounded in contemporary romance or set in a richly imagined realm, we’re looking for manuscripts with strong character arcs, fresh perspectives, and powerful romantic tension.”
