Welcome to Medical Month!

It’s officially Medical Month and that means our submissions inbox is now OPEN!

Submit your contemporary Medical Romance submission between May 1 and May 12 to get a response, including editorial feedback, by May 31!

What do you need?

  • A cover letter that introduces you and your book and includes any previous publishing credits, synopsis and first chapter – no need to have the full manuscript written!
  • If we love the voice, we’ll invite you to submit further chapters and work with you on developing your story to its full potential. Please note that requests for additional chapters are not a guarantee of publication.
  • For details on how to submit and for full T&Cs please click here.
  • Only one entry per person.
  • All entries will receive editorial feedback by Wednesday 31 May 2023.

This isn’t a contest but a chance to showcase your work to our editors and get some helpful feedback in an accelerated time frame, and maybe even become the newest Medical Romance author!

Before you submit, here are our top tips on what makes the perfect Medical Romance:

  • Keep a strong focus on the developing central romance, which unfolds against the backdrop of medical drama.
  • Remember that contemporary, international medical settings are integral to the story.
  • A Medical hero is at the top of his game. He’s a dynamic and dedicated life-saver that has a heart of gold!
  • A Medical heroine is intelligent, professional, warm-hearted and empathetic! She’s everything a modern woman can relate to and aspire to be. And every bit as on-her-game as her love interest!
  • Innovative internal emotional conflicts.
  • These stories have a range of sensuality, from steamy and intensely passionate to warm and tender, but always combined with a high level of emotion.

So, what are you waiting for? Ready. Set. Submit!
