10 Romance Short Story Markets that Pay Royalties

One of the differences between romance and science-fiction/fantasy/horror/mystery/furry/literary markets is that other genres pay better and often pay per word. It might be a professional rate of 6 cents a word or a semi-pro rate of 1/2 a cent per word, but it is still paying. What I have seen of romance markets is that they offer royalties and no advance like many small publishers of novels these days. Which isn't to say you won't make money. Some authors do well. Some do better self-publishing. Some sell a story and later self-publish it when the rights revert back to them.
