If your manuscript doesn’t seem to fit the other romance categories listed, you’re welcome to submit here. Please note that we do not publish inspirational romance; please see the Harlequin Love Inspired guidelines if you’re writing faith-based romance.

Romances should focus on the development of the relationship, as well as external and internal conflict; the heat level should be appropriate to the book and enhance the story; and the primary relationship should offer a happily ever after (HEA) or happily for now (HFN). Trilogies and duologies wherein the first and/or second book end in cliffhangers are permitted as long as the primary romantic arc ultimately ends in an HEA or HFN.

Subgenres of romance we are seeking include, but are not limited to paranormal, romantic suspense, romantic comedy, contemporary, and historical. Please see specific guidelines for erotic romance and science fiction/fantasy romance in their respective categories.
