Harlequin is looking for the next great author to join the ranks of such greats as Lucy Monroe and Kate Hardy. If you’re interested in writing for that line, here’s your chance to get your foot in the door. With the success of their previous Instant Seduction competition earlier in the year, they’ve decided to launch the:
Modern Heat Writing Challenge
The FEEL THE HEAT writing competition!
Do you have a fresh, vibrant, sassy voice and a passion for sexy alpha heroes? Can you write sparky dialogue, create great sensual tension and hot love-scenes?
If so, then we want to hear from you!
Details:
Email your first chapter and synopsis of a Modern Heat novel to: feeltheheat@hmb.co.uk by 15th September 2008.
The WINNER receives an editor for a year!
TWO RUNNERS-UP will be given critiques of their first chapter entries and an editorial telephone consultation!
The winner will be announced October 1st 2008.
The Modern Heat guidelines can be found at Writing Contest: Mills & Boon Modern Heat Writing Guidelines and editor Joanne Carr has asked some of her existing Modern Heat authors to blog throughout this period to share writing tips and their experiences.
If you look through the I Heart Presents archives (particularly for November and December 2007) you will find many useful tips and guidelines that are relevant for this competition.
And now for the serious part!
Rules:
-
Your entry must be aimed at Modern Heat
-
Your entry must NOT have been submitted previously to Harlequin Mills & Boon
-
Only ONE entry per person

Submissions received after the closing date will NOT be assessed!

More detailed legal rules will be posted at a later date.
