Hi Regina,

I answered this in the Official Rules thread, but in case you missed it, yes you can submit a Preface as the first chapter (just don’t include both )

Good luck,

Joanie,

Include your chapter and synopsis as Word file attachments. (See #1 in the Official Rules.):

I have a question about entry. Do we attach our chapter and synopsis to the email, or do we put the entire entry into the body of the email?

I don’t want to get disqualified right away for doing it incorrectly, and though I’ve read everything I can find I don’t find an answer to this question. If you have answered it and I’ve missed it I apologize, but regardless, thank you.

Sincerely,
Joan Rhine

I am learning to slow down and really read. I want to fully get a grasp from the authors themselves and the books which sell in Harlequin Presents. Then I want to try it myself.
So I come back to the “helping sites” and the “Informative sites” seeking what I know I missed in my carelessness to hurry hurry hurry.
Thank you for making this such a treat to again retrace steps in efforts to make myself if nothing else, than just a better writer who respects this romance genre.
