Pride Publishing wants MM romance novels and novellas for its Men in Uniform line. The editors write:
Whether they’re wearing desert-dusty fatigues or smoke-stained fire gear, we love a man in uniform who isn’t afraid to put his life on the line when doing his job. But who is the hero of their heart? We’re looking for scorching hot stories of … GBTQ men in uniform, and the lucky ones they love. We’re looking for manuscripts between 10,000 -100,000 words in length, series and serials are also welcome.

About Submission Calls
I post paying submission calls every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I focus on fiction calls, but occasionally post paying opportunities for creative nonfiction and poetry.
Browse more submission calls or tips for writers. You can sort calls by payment rate: token, semi-professional, professional, or royalties. To get a weekly roundup of all my posts for writers, sign up here.
I strive to ensure that all submission calls I post are open to works with characters from underrepresented groups, including queer/LGBTQIA characters. I do this by checking the publisher's back catalog, submissions policies, or business practices, or by communicating with the publisher directly.
Please contact the publisher through the links in the post if you have questions about a submission call. Contact me if you've had a bad experience with a publisher featured here.
