♥ Harper Impulse is a new digital first imprint that will publish romance fiction for today’s woman – bought to you from the women’s fiction team at HarperCollins.

Women who love glossy magazines, chicklit films from favourite weepies such as The Notebook to laugh out loud comedies like Bridesmaids and the very best in original storytelling!

WHAT HARPER IMPULSE ARE LOOKING FOR:
♥ New writers who dare to be different – and the more the merrier!
♥ The imprint will publish from fun & fast Adult and New Adult genre fiction to more mainstream novels; particularly contemporary, historical, paranormal and erotic fiction.
♥ They are looking for any length & really want writers who want to push the boundaries in terms of storytelling – whether that be mashing genres, experimenting with length etc.
