Firstly, CONGRATULATIONS to one of my fabulous critque partners, Maya Blake, who just received THE CALL. She's the latest addition to the Harlequin Presents line and I can't wait to see her first book on the shelves.
Secondly, there's some really great writing opportunities out there at the moment. They are:
1. Harlequin Romance Fast-Track: You'll hear back on the results of your submission in ONE month. You've got to love that. All you need is a first chapter, synopsis and query letter. This one closes April 23rd.
2. Harlequin Special Edition Editor Pitch Challenge: All you need is a one-page synopsis of your manuscript. Closes April 23rd.
3. Harlequin Historical Undone Editor Pitch Challenge: This one's a pitch with a twist. Sell your book with a 300 word max extract and a back cover blurb (80-100 words). Closes May 3rd.
4. Harlequin Medical Fast-Track: You'll hear back in LESS than one month. You'll need a query letter, synopsis and first chapter. It opens June 1 and closes June 7.
4. Harlequin Medical Fast-Track: You'll hear back in LESS than one month. You'll need a query letter, synopsis and first chapter. It opens June 1 and closes June 7.
Are there any other writing contests/challenges out there at the moment? Are you entering any of the contests? I'd love to know!
Happy writing!

Maya - You deserve it!
Hi Lacey - I'm polishing my first chapter for the fast track :)
I was totally ready for the fast track and then, after another edit, decided that I had to completely change track. :( Lots more work for me today! Oh well :D
Congrats Maya! All the hard work has finally paid off x
Joanne - Go, Jo! Let me know when you send it. It'll be party time!
Serena - At least you discovered the problem before you sent it :) There's still five days left. You can do it!!
