Harlequin has launched WriteforHarlequin.com, a website dedicated to discovering new voices in romantic fiction where aspiring Harlequin authors can get advice from Harlequin’s experienced editors, hear about open calls for story submissions, and access writing guidelines for Harlequin’s romance lines and Carina Press.
“This website is the voice of Harlequin’s romance editors. It is the place where our editors share their editorial and publishing expertise and it’s an invaluable resource for writers who are interested in being published by Harlequin,” said Dianne Moggy, VP Editorial at Harlequin.
