For anyone writing romance of any kind, you might find the following two new digital imprints of interest, both from mainstream print companies - and one is running a competition.
This seems to be the trend now - bigger publishers bringing out a digital-first imprint. I was speaking at a fairly large group through in Edinburgh on Monday evening and asked who used an e-reader of some kind. Must admit I was slightly surprised, and delighted, to find only about about three people
didn't use one now. Even if many of us still love to read a print book at times, there's no denying ebooks are hugely popular - and that is good news for writers!
Pulse (part of Myrmidon) Submissions and Competition
Pulse is looking for action drama romance in novel or novella length. They are running a competition at the moment which closes on 31st May 2013. Full details on the
Pulse website.
Harper Impulse
This is the new digital-first imprint from the large Harper Collins company. They want 'romance fiction for today's woman' in all romance genres. Their
blog gives some details but, interestingly, they broke this news on
Facebook, where you'll find more details.
Good luck if you enter or submit!

Many thanks, Rosemary. These look very interesting.
I wish I could get used to reading on Kindle. It's still very hard to tear myself away from print books. But I have made myself download something I really want to read, in the hope that I shall be unable to resist using it! x
I have had my kindly since Christmas and without a doubt, I still prefer traditional books. Thanks for the info, Rosemary.
Hi Rosemary, I submitted to HarperImpulse as soon as the opportunity arose, still have yet to hear, fingers and toes crossed......
Thank you for those links, Rosemary.
A Kindle is undoubtedly useful to save taking a suitcase full of books on holiday, but at home, I like relaxing with a real one!
You're welcome, Joanna - I think I still prefer print overall, though I would never use anything but kindle for readign in bed now.
You're obviously not alone in that, Wendy!
Oh, the best of luck with it, Cara!
You're welcome, Jean - and yes, I know what you mean!
E-readers have opened the door to readers being able to discover lots of new writers.
Thanks for sharing the other details, Rosemary.
Impulse are on my list for submitting my novella to, when it's ready.
Thanks a million for this info! I'm going to check them out now. Love your blog! :0 Edith xxx
You're quite right about e-readers, Carol. Good luck with that submission when it arrives!
