Linda Fildew is a Senior Editor with Harlequin Mills & Boon, responsible for the Harlequin Historical/Mills & Boon Historical Romance lines. She has a background in art history and considers her job has neatly come full circle: after more than thirty years with the company, holding a variety of editorial roles, she is back with her first love, Historicals, the line which she helped launch in the U.K. as Masquerade in 1977. She puts her longevity down to an abiding love of the books and the authors with whom she works. She encourages submissions for all time periods from ancient civilizations up to and including the Second World War, although she personally has a particular soft spot for Viking heroes and embittered, battle-scarred loners be they warriors or outcasts from the Regency ton. 

Kathryn Cheshire is an Assistant Editor/Editorial Assistant for Harlequin Mills & Boon. She joined the company in 2012 after graduating from the University of Edinburgh and travelling around the globe. After her teenage years of being a love cynic, she has now decided that life is far too short, and firmly believes in happy ever afters and love that lasts a lifetime–perfect for spending her days in Paradise Heights!

Nicola Caws is an Editorial Assistant for Harlequin Mills & Boon, a new addition to the Historical Romance team. She’s always had a voracious (and possibly unhealthy) appetite for reading, so it seemed only natural when, after graduating with a BA in English Literature from the University of Exeter, she joined the company in December 2013. Luckily here at Romance HQ she can feast on words to her heart’s content – she’s delighted to be part of such a wonderful team.
