Intrigue Pitch

If you've looked around my website you probably know I write for Harlequin Intrigue. Honestly, I love writing for Intrigue. My editor, Denise Zaza, makes the process pretty easy. With the last contract we talked about what I write and how that fits in with the "hooks" Harlequin readers look for – ex, amnesia, secret babies, cowboys, etc. You'll notice I don't really write any of those hooks. But, knowing what I write and my strengths (as well as which of my Intrigues sold best so far), my editor had an idea of what type of book she wanted me to propose to her (mistaken identity/girl next door heroine types), so I came up with three plot ideas that fit into those categories, pitched them, and she bought them. It's a good partnership.

If you're thinking about writing for Intrigue – and you definitely should if you like writing romantic suspense or romantic thrillers – you now have an opportunity to pitch directly to my editor. Here is the information from the Harlequin website about the pitches: HERE. Good luck!
