This, a Winner, and That part 8

MOOD STATUS: "Thrilled". My obligations for the month are
DONE. And I'm going on a little vacation next week. Yay!


Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by Writer Routine Wednesday to say hi and hear about Heidi's writing routine! I know I wish I had a BIO like that!

But now the important part: the book winner. :)

And the winner of one of Heidi Bett's books is...

BOSSY BETTY!

CONGRATS!!!

Please e-mail me the address you would like the book sent to along with your book selection. You can check out Heidi's website for her list of back listed books.

And now for the this and that


Did you know that Harlequin is on the hunt for new authors for their Medical Romance line?

Harlequin®/Mills & Boon® Medical Romance™ is looking for new authors – and if you send us a first chapter, three chapters, or even a full manuscript of a romance in a medical setting, then we will give it a fast-track read…and get you a fast-tracked response this summer!

Here’s what to do to get fast-tracked:

• Send us a covering letter with a synopsis of your story and characters (no more than two pages) along with anything from the first chapter of the story to the complete manuscript.

• In order to be eligible for fast-tracking, submissions must be received between 1st and 24th August (12.00 Midnight BST, British Summer Time) 2010. Don’t miss out!

• You must email your submission (as a Word document attachment) to medicalfasttrack@hmb.co.uk and make sure you include your current email address in you covering letter as you will receive your response by email.

• Otherwise our normal submissions and format criteria apply (visit ‘Submit manuscript’ section at www.millsandboon.co.uk

Of course, we are open to unsolicited submissions at any time, but if you send us your Medical Romance submission in August then we’ll send you a response in August from one of our London-based editors.

Also, are you looking for the perfect gift to give to one of your writer friends?

Oh, good. Here's a great website to check out then: http://www.cafepress.com/



They have cool stuff like writing journals with "Oh, this is SO going in my next novel" on it



T-shirts and mugs that say "Ask me about my next book"



Hats that say, "Future author"



and my personal favorite, the pink t-shirt with the saying

"I'm writing you into my next novel.

Your character will meet a painful, violent death.

Have a nice day."



That's it for me. Have a GREAT weekend!
