Tule Publishing: A Romance and Mystery Publisher

Updated March 2026

Tule Publishing started out as Romance Publisher. Many of their books have sold well on Amazon. Most books they have published have at least 25 positive reviews. They have published bestselling and award winning authors. They publish a wide variety of romance including western, paranormal, and holiday. They have since branched out into the Mystery market and they seem to be doing well in that space also. They are a digital first publisher, that expects authors to do promotional work.

They currently have a full editorial calendar in terms of manuscripts that will be published in 2026. Anything they accept at this point will be published in 2027 and beyond. Please keep that in mind.

They are open to short novels between 50k and 69k in length and long novels that are between 70K and 90K. They are primarily focused on publishing series, so they ask that authors include a description of their series ideas.

Their website focuses on selling books to readers. It is easy to navigate and up to date. They sell eBooks in bundles on their website and one of their goals appears to be to encourage readers to be loyal to them as a publishing house.

They also have a newsletter for readers that promotes new books it that they have published to readers. They actively encourage people to subscribe. There are sign up options all over their website.

Tule Publishing is very upfront about the fact that they pay others for professional editing, cover art, formatting, e-conversion, marketing support, and social media.

They have a number of imprints with different goals and specifications, but submissions to all romance imprints have to have a central romance plot with a happily ever after, or (less preferable) a happy for now ending.

To submit, familiarize yourself with their imprints (not all are currently open to submissions, but most are). Make sure you state the imprint your manuscript is for in an email. Include a bio with relevant links. Also submit a synopsis of your book and a first chapter. All submissions must be made via email.
