Submitting Manuscripts to PHR
This post is for those who are interested in submitting their manuscript to Precious Hearts Romances. I know there are a lot of people who want their manuscripts to be published but just don't know how. So here's a little something that might help you. :)
Font Style/Size. There's really no particular style or size required to use when writing a manuscript. You can use any style/size as long as it's legible and easy to read. For me, I use Calibri and font size 12.Spacing. Again, you can use any type of spacing as long as it makes the manuscript easier to read. For me, I use 1.5 spacing.Number of Pages. Honestly, you don't have to worry about this. There's really no required number of pages.Word Count. Many people would say that the word count should be 23K-24K but trust me on this, it's not really a must. As long as the story is 10 chapters long and the words won't be less than 20K, then you're good to go. I've written several manuscripts that were only 21K-22K long and those manuscripts were approved. So believe me when I say you don't have to strictly follow the 23K-24K words rule.Submission. Now, after you're done with your story, you can submit it to ed2rialstaff@yahoo.com. They will give you a reply saying you should follow up the result after a month. Do as they say and just wait for the result of your manuscript.
I hope this post will help those aspiring Tagalog romance writers out there. If you really wish to be a writer then don't just say you want to be one, back it up with some action. Because just as the adage say, a dream will always remain a dream unless you do something to fulfill it.

Ngayon ko lang na check email ko. sorry po:) Pwede rin po ba na nakasulat siya sa first person's pov? Hindi po ba usually third po ang sa PHR? Nagmessage na po ako sa kanila and tumatanggap pa po sila:) iedit ko na lang po ang ipapasa ko. ^^ Thank you po^^
case ko po e nagpasa po ako noong november 10,2014 and its been a month na po wala parin akong natatanggap na reply. ang ibig sabihin po ba non e rejected po ang manuscript ko?

Hello Ms. Tyra , itanung ko lang po sa kahit na anung POV po ba nakasulat ang manuscript?
Meika wrote: "Hello Ms. Tyra , itanung ko lang po sa kahit na anung POV po ba nakasulat ang manuscript?"usually 3rd person POV ang ginagamit. but i think tumatanggap na rin sila ngayon ng 1st person. :)

Mag-follow up ka na lang ulit. Kasi minsan sobrang busy lang ng editorial kaya hindi agad sila nakakasagot.
Hello po Ms. Author! What do you prefer 1st person POV or 3rd person POV? :) Uhm, can I ask for some suggestions po kung paano maging better ang novel na ginagawa ko po? Medyo nahihirapan po kasi akong mag express ng gusto kong i express kasi medyo nahihirapan po akong mag look for deep tagalog words. Salamat po Ms. Author. God bless you. :)

Sobrang tagal na nan. I-follow up mo sa kanila. Itanong mo kung may result na yung MS mo na pinasa mo at this date. Dun mo i-send sa temporary email nila. Hindi pa kasi ayos yung una.

Lovebern wrote: "hello po....d po b my kasama din dapat n resume'? hehehe sorry po sa tanong....gusto ko din po kc magpasa..."Okay lang kahit hindi ka muna magbigay ng resume. Pwede naman kasi na saka na lang yun ipasa if ever na pumasa yung manuscript mo.
thank you po miss tyra.....pasa ko n po ngaun...kailangan po b my title na?
HI MISS TYRA.....Ni-remind po ako ng editorial staff na kailangan ko daw magpasa ng teasers, resume, pen name for approval etc. pero hindi naman nila sinabi kung approved b ung novel ko....
Hello po Ms. Tyra. Tanong ko lang po. Kapag sinabi po nilamg aproved na yung MS, ano po yung ibang process pagkatapos magpasa ng teaser, pen name, etc. ?
Cris wrote: "Hello po Ms. Tyra. Tanong ko lang po. Kapag sinabi po nilamg aproved na yung MS, ano po yung ibang process pagkatapos magpasa ng teaser, pen name, etc. ?"kung malapit ka lang sa Manila area, then you should go to their office and get your check. kung malayo ka naman, sabihin mo sa kanila para maipadala nila sa 'yo yung deed of sale at pati na rin yung cheke.
