The Harlequin Medical Romance Blitz opens TODAY!

Submit your contemporary Harlequin Medical Romance submission between NOW and March 29th. Get a response, including editorial feedback, by April 12th!

  • A cover letter that introduces you and your book and includes any previous publishing credits, first chapter and complete synopsis only – no need to have the full manuscript written!
  • If we love the voice, we’ll invite you to submit further chapters and work with you on developing your story to its full potential. Please note that requests for additional chapters are not a guarantee of publication.

This isn’t a contest but a chance to showcase your work to our editors and get some helpful feedback in an accelerated time frame, and maybe even become the newest Harlequin Medical Romance author!

Before you submit, here are our top tips on what makes the perfect Harlequin Medical Romance:

  • Keep a strong focus on the developing central romance, which unfolds against the backdrop of medical drama.
  • But remember that contemporary, international medical settings are integral to the story.
  • A Medical hero is at the top of his game. He’s a dynamic and dedicated life-saver that has a heart of gold!
  • A Medical heroine is intelligent, professional, warm-hearted and empathetic! She’s everything a modern woman can relate to and aspire to be. And every bit as on-her-game as her hero!
  • Innovative internal emotional conflicts.
  • These stories have a range of sensuality, from steamy and intensely passionate to warm and tender, but always combined with a high level of emotion.

If you’ve ever dreamed about being published, send us your submission. We want to read your story!
