This April, we welcome Harlequin editors Stephanie Doig (Carina Press) and Lynn Raposo (HQN and Graydon House) for a casual, q&a-style discussion. Harlequin publishes a wide range of books, and Stephanie and Lynn will be happy to answer your questions about what makes a submission stand out and what happens behind the scenes at Harlequin!

We’ll be collecting your questions ahead of time and sharing them with the editors so we can make the most of this incredible opportunity.

We recommend visiting https://www.writeforharlequin.com/  ahead of the event—it has lots of great information on Harlequin’s lines (What is Harlequin Series?), writing craft and the submission process.
