Warm Up Your Winter with SDP Publishing Solutions’ Best of Romance Manuscript Contest!

EAST BRIDGEWATER, Mass. - Feb. 11, 2015 - PRLog -- Romantic fiction is one of the most popular forms of fiction in the literary world today, and we’re looking for some fresh new authors in the romance category.

We would like submissions to adhere to the Romance Writers of America (RWA) definition of romance fiction, which is as follows:

Two basic elements comprise every romance novel: a central love story and an emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending.

A Central Love Story: The main plot centers around individuals falling in love and struggling to make the relationship work. A writer can include as many subplots as he/she wants as long as the love story is the main focus of the novel.

An Emotionally Satisfying and Optimistic Ending: In a romance, the lovers who risk and struggle for each other and their relationship are rewarded with emotional justice and unconditional love.

Romance novels may have any tone or style, be set in any place or time, and have varying levels of sensuality—ranging from sweet to extremely hot. These settings and distinctions of plot create specific subgenres within romance fiction. You can read more about the subgenres of romance fiction here: http://www.rwa.org/p/cm/ld/fid=579.
