Regal Crest Enterprises

Regal Crest Enterprises (RCE), established 1999, is a small press publisher of lesbian literature. As of January 1, 2021, RCE became an imprint of Flashpoint Publications and is based in Ohio. Since the publication of its first title in 1999, RCE's primary focus has been on lesbian fiction, though some other titles have also been issued. The press publishes mostly in the genres of lesbian romance, lesbian mystery, lesbian essays and collections, lesbian speculative fiction novels, and lesbian erotica short-story anthologies along with some gay fiction works, particularly in the realm of sci-fi and romance. Reviewers at The Lesbian Review have generally been very upbeat about the quality and variety of books published by this press. Prior to the merger, books from Flashpoint Publications were also reviewed favorably by The Lesbian Review.

Large trade publishers generally accept manuscripts only through literary agents, while many independent and small presses accept direct submissions during reading periods. Before submitting anywhere, read the publisher's current guidelines, study recent books on its list, and never pay a reading or publishing fee to a traditional publisher.
