Mills and Boon are having a writing competition in September, "a global search for fresh writing talent to join Mills & Boon’s galaxy of romantic fiction stars." It's free and all you have to do is upload the first chapter of your bonkbuster for their judgement after the 6th of September. Go to Romance Is Not Dead for more info.

I had a look at some examples of recent Mills and Boon books and I never read a bigger pile of tosh in my life. Every single person I know on LJ can do better! So, your mission if you choose to, is to write the first chapter of a Mills and Boon novel and join the competition. Oh, and create a pseudonym to go along with it.

[Poll #1605969]

Contestant entrants can judge each other's writing after September 6th on that website. I think we should all do it - let's call it a pre-NaNoWriMo warm up. I'm already getting plenty of ideas from watching Dynasty.

P.s. Why isn't there a Mills and Boon line for gay men?!
