 If you’ve been yearning to crack the hot category romance market, this may be your chance. Harlequin is now accepting entries for its 2009 writing competition.

Your manuscript must target the Harlequin Presents or Modern Heat  lines. It must be original and not previously submitted to Harlequin Mills & Boon for publication. Send the first chapter (5,000 words maximum) and a two-page-or-less synopsis of the complete novel. Entries must be received by November 2, 2009.

Entries will be judged by a panel of members of the Harlequin Mills & Boon editorial staff. Judges will look at voice, content and writing skills in equal measure.

The first prize winner will receive the services of a Harlequin Mills & Boon editor for one year. Two runners-up will be given critiques of their first chapter entries and an editorial consultation.
