If you’ve always wanted to write for Harlequin Historical, but were daunted by the length, now is your chance to submit something shorter!
The response to Harlequin Historical’s more sensual storylines have been so positive that we are creating a new eBook sexy short story program—Historical UNDONE.
In Historical UNDONE we are looking for a high level of sensuality that flows naturally out of the plotline. There should be a strong emotional basis to the heightened attraction—it’s vital the reader can believe in the intense emotion driving the characters as their relationship develops. These stories should be hot, sexy and subtly explicit without the lovemaking being vulgar or gratuitous.
Whether you choose a dark and devilishly sexy Regency rake caught in a compromising situation with a headstrong miss, or a courageous Saxon lady held captive by a powerful Norman warrior, your characters should be fully fleshed out and should be the main focus of the story.
I’m not a writer, but as a reader I’m excited about the idea of shorter historicals. I often turn to category when I’m in a slump or unsure of what to read, so this could be a great solution – especially for the reading doldrums.
Writers, this could be your chance…
Good luck!
