Heroes and Heartbreakers
On 14th February, Macmillan Publishing set up their new romance community site,
www.heroesandheartbreakers.com.
Heroes and Heartbreakers (H&H) brings together original stories, pre-release excerpts, blog posts, giveaways and more in a publisher-neutral environment - which means romance content from all publishers, imprints and authors will be featured on the site.
There are two opportunities to reach a new audience that authors might find particularly interesting: the original short story program and the blogger team. H&H is acquiring original short stories, and welcomes submissions from all romance subgenres. If you're interested in submitting a story, you can contact Liz Edelstein, Senior Manager and editor of HeroesAndHeartbreakers.com at submissions@heroesandheartbreakers.com.
The site is also looking for bloggers to contribute romance-themed material to the site. Both are paying opportunities.
The submission guidlines are available here. They are looking for romance stories of all genres between 6,000 and 15,000 words in length, and their pay is generous.

Publishing money flows in one direction only
Sarah Duncan's latest post might seem incredibly obvious to writers who've been knocking around for a while, but if you're still a newbie, you really need to read this:
http://sarahduncansblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/publishing-money-flows-in-one-direction.html
Self publishing is a different story. This is where you knowingly spend your own money to publish your own work. And when you self publish, you the author, should be the one receiving the earnings, not some middle man.
