A Promotional Plan. All authors must submit a plan that tells us how they are going to market their book. Please do not tell us you are open to suggestions, instead give us an idea of what you are going to do to get the word out, such as posting to groups where romance readers congregate or participating in online chats for example. We are looking for authors who want to hang out with readers and enjoy talking about their book(s). Authors who do not make an effort to market their book(s)will not be offered new contracts.
Manuscripts must be double-spaced in New Times Roman font. Chapter headings must be in words rather than numbers. Do not underline words you want in italics, instead put those words in italics. Finally, no parenthesis please.
