What is the minimum word-count your agency takes, or your publishing house requires? 
Pantera Press only accepts full-length, single-title novels. 

What sub-genres or genres are you not looking for?
We are not currently looking for YA, self-help or erotic romance.

Is there a genre or sub-genre you’re particularly keen to see?
We're interested in all varieties of contemporary romance, romantic comedies, commercial women's fiction, historical novels with strong romantic elements, rainbow romance, and any kind of cosy story: cosy crime, cosy fantasy, whatever is going to make us feel warm and fuzzy.
Pantera also publishes crime, literary cross-over, and non-fiction titles, and we'd be very happy to hear about your writing in these areas as well!

What genre is your personal favourite?
I adore a charming, feel-good rom-com or contemporary women’s fiction that celebrates its strong, complex characters.

What is your major turn-off in a book?
Characters that feel like an easy cliché or who feel indistinguishable from each other. Creating a cast of three-dimensional characters is something that will set your novel far apart from the crowd in the best way.

What is likely to really knock your socks off besides an engaging voice and well-written book?
Something that really gets me thinking, like topical themes that are expertly woven into the threads of a story.

Any advice to your potential pitchers?
Stay calm (easier said than done sometimes, I know!) and explain to me what you love about the book. Also, knowing how your book fits into the market and having a couple of good comparison titles is extremely valuable – it shows us that you know your area and are familiar with your intended audience.
