Are you the next E.L. James or Marian Keyes?

Here’s some great news for those of you who didn’t have a chance to submit to HarperCollins’ new e-book anthology about love in the digital age—submissions have re-opened!

We all love a hot romance… and what could be more relevant to the way we live now than a love story involving text messages, online dating, emails or tweets?

Our target audience is digitally savvy women aged 25–40 who enjoy a cleverly written romp. They like reading on their iPads or Kindles, and might be currently signed up to RSVP or e-harmony, or engaged in a little email flirtation at work.

Writers whose stories are selected will receive a part share of the royalties of 25% of publisher’s net receipts (the part share is dependent on the number of successful submissions included in the Work) and a HarperCollins book pack to the value of $50.

Submissions are now open and will close at 5pm on 25 May 2012 Writers should send their completed manuscript to loveonline@harpercollins.com.au.

Any queries can be sent to loveonline@harpercollins.com.au with ‘query’ in the subject line. Media enquiries should be addressed to loveonline@harpercollins.com.au with ‘media’ in the subject line.

Please note:
• Submissions should be between 800–3000 words long. Please submit a double-spaced Word document (using Times New Roman font) as an attachment. The subject heading should be the title of your work. Include your name, postal address and email address in the body of the email.
• We are particularly looking for strength of ‘voice’ and creativity in the submissions.
• HarperCollins is unable to give personalized feedback as to why a submission isn’t selected for this anthology.
• Eligibility for the anthology is at HarperCollins’ discretion.
