Ally D’Antonio

I have been an acquisitions editor for Dover Publications since 2022, focusing on crafts and hobbies titles, as well as romance titles. I work on adult titles, including adult coloring and activity books. I am also a project leader for Dover’s growing TTRPG program.

For Adult Romance, I am interested in a wide variety of subcategories, and especially projects from Own Voices creators. I am looking for pre-20th century historical romances, ideally with a twist (magic, stem, retellings), connected standalones, cozy and low-stakes fantasy, or fantasy with primarily a HEA. For fantasy, I am also interested in projects focusing on less traditional fantasy species, like mermaids, goblins, oracles, etc, or projects that take place in a more modern setting, but still focus on magic. Please also send submissions for retellings of classic stories with a magical twist, for example magical Shakespeare or Jane Austen. I would also like to see contemporary romances, specifically Sports romance (racing, swimming, tennis), or celebrity romance.

For non-fiction or craft titles, I would like to see historical books focusing on women, fashion, and/or folktales and magical creatures. I would be interested in seeing TTRPGs that can be incorporated into existing games or work as tools for players.

Submissions should be emailed to adantonio@doverpublications.com
