We are delighted to be launching Romance Includes Everyone in collaboration with the Romantic Novelists’ Association – a competition to find new standalone romance novels that celebrate LGBTQI+ characters.

The competition is open to anyone who writes romances focusing on LGBTQI+ characters, including published and unpublished authors both agented and un-agented.

If you have a romance waiting to be written or ready to publish want to hear from you – you may be our next bestselling author!

The Romance Includes Everyone pitch event will take place on Friday 21st May between 8am to 8pm GMT. Submit your pitch via Twitter or Facebook using the hashtag #LGBTQLoveStories.

You can find more details about the event, our criteria and key elements to consider here.
