Calling all aspiring authors, the Presents team have an exciting opportunity for you! Following on from the fantastic success of last year\u2019s online pitch, we\u2019re going to dive right in with another one!<\/p>\n

However this year, there\u2019s a twist\u2026 Not only are we asking you to submit an extract of your work, but our top 5 submissions will invited to an online pitch with a difference \u2014 see below for more details\u2026<\/p>\n

Your submission \u2013 The First Meet<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the moment that every girl dreams of and every romance fan relishes. Whether their eyes meet across a crowded room, they\u2019re stuck in an elevator, or your heroine\u2019s \u00a0sought out your hero to give him an earful! It\u2019s the moment that makes the hairs on your arms stand up, the tingly feeling spreads across your body, and you just\u00a0know<\/i>\u00a0that\u2019s your hero!<\/p>\n

We want you to make it interesting, sparkly and original. It doesn\u2019t have to be the first page of your story, but exactly that moment when your hero and heroine first lay eyes on each other.\u00a0Extracts should be 1,000 \u2013 2,000 words<\/b>\u00a0and five lucky entrants will be invited to a highly exclusive online party!<\/p>\n

Submissions should be emailed to Rae (doeraemi @ gmail . com<\/a>) by\u00a0March 24th<\/b>\u00a0at midnight EST.<\/p>\n

The top five will be chosen and notified on or about April 8th<\/sup>\u00a0and will be invited to an\u00a0exclusive<\/i>online pitch on the\u00a015th<\/sup>\u00a0of April<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The Online Pitch \u2013<\/b>\u00a0Come as your Character!<\/b><\/p>\n

The Presents team want to meet one of your characters! Whether it\u2019s your hero or heroine, we\u2019ll ask the questions and let your character tell us about themselves! Don\u2019t worry \u2013 the questions won\u2019t be hard, but we LOVE getting to know your characters and uncovering what makes them tick, so make sure you know them inside out!!<\/p>\n

Our top three \u2018characters\u2019 will be asked to submit the first three chapters and a synopsis of their story to the Presents team, who will provide an editorial critique\u00a0within one week\u00a0from receipt of your submission.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t wait to see what you come up with!!<\/p>\n

Note from Amy:<\/strong>\u00a0Head on over to the\u00a0Harlequin Community<\/a>\u00a0for more information about the pitch session, chat with fellow aspiring authors and to ask any questions about the pitch to Rae, the community host. Good luck!<\/em><\/p>\n
