I've been on summer holidays, and was no where near a computer while away. Consequently, I only emailed the editors during the week. I hope I'm not too late to receive my feedback, as I would greatly treasure any comments offered! Congratulations to those who got encouraging or helpful words of advice. Consider yourselves lucky to receive such personalised feedback from an editor of one of the largest romance publishing houses in the world! May the muses talk to you, Madeline Happy New Year all!

On the Submission Care Group 6 thread there are some really encouraging comments (from published and unpublished authors) for those of us who didn't get anywhere in the comp. It's a great place to get moral support and advice. Lorraine I don’t know if you’re all aware of the Write Stuff forum over on the eharlequin community website?

After I got my email I sat down and wrote 2000 words on my current MS. Rejection is a part of success and so is learning to deal with it. I'm grateful for all the opportunies offered by M&B and I'm looking forward to the next contest. I'm so humbled by how sweet everyone in this community is! Best of luck to you too, Gail. Maisey Thanks Gail!

Personally, I'm happy to pass on my particular story in favour of another that will better suit the line. Maisey, hang in there, hon. Keep in mind that you stepped up and entered the competition. As long as we keep writing, we're still in the game. I bet you'll wow them with your next story! All the best, Gail :) My CP and I received our responses yesterday.

Sort of sad to hear that you ought to scrap a fifty thousand word manuscript, but I did get the email. I'd be a real liar if I said I wasn't disappointed. Best of luck to all of you still waiting, and thanks again to Joanne, and all the editors involved in the competition. It was great fun. And you can bet I'll enter the next one that comes up! Keep smiling, and no one lose heart. Maisey Well, not happy news, but I did get mine. Sort of sad to hear that you ought to scrap a fifty thousand word manuscript, but I did get the email.

I officially hate technology :( It seems a bunch of earlier responses were never received by you lovely ladies, so when I put the call out to contact us if you were one of them, I thought it would be straightforward. But that would be too easy. We have been getting your emails to the eEditors address (little e or big E the address should work), but just to cause some extra paranoia all round, the automated response hasn't been working for external email addresses (ie when I test it from my email address I have been getting the automated response, so assumed it was all working fine!) Grr!!! (to say the least!). By the time most of you read this, you should've had your email from us. If not, I may resort to a more tried and tested method for communication such as smoke rings or pigeons...sigh. I am so, so sorry!!!!!! Ok.
