If you write romance, this post is for you! HarperCollins has an imprint called Avon Romance that publishes new authors. You do not have to have an agent to submit to this publisher. According to their site, this is what they are looking for:

• Romantic Suspense
• Super sexy contemporaries
• Trilogies—and beyond. (If you have a series, we want to see it.)
• Historical Romance with a hook

Best I can tell, they only publish adult novels. If anyone finds out different, please let me know so I can update this post. But if you have a great romance waiting to be told, go here to learn more about what they are looking for and to submit your manuscript.

As always, good luck!
