Mission Statement

Belonging Books is an inclusive publishing house founded on feminist principles that publishes romantic and erotic stories emphasizing the ideals of mutual respect, honesty, and authenticity. What this means is that:

  • We publish stories with interesting, complex, flawed, awesome characters; characters of all races, creeds, religions, nationalities, sexual orientations, gender identities, ages, neurotypes, body types, and abilities; and characters who are in non-heteronormative relationships as well as more traditional relationships.
  • Our stories are inspired by intersectional feminist ideals including equality, respect, inclusion, and social progress.
  • We treat our authors with care and appreciation, guiding them through each step of the publishing process and working continuously to fulfill their creative vision while providing unparalleled technical and marketing support. We seek to amplify the voices of writers who are members of marginalized groups and publish and market stories that might otherwise never find a home.
  • We provide our readers with a curated selection of exciting, delightful, fun, and thought-provoking romantic stories, free of stereotypes, cheap plot devices, and tired clichés.
