Romance Writers of New Zealand Inc.
STRICTLY SINGLE CONTEST 2011
This contest is open to single title manuscripts, which have a longer, more complex structure than category romances. The word count for a single title manuscript is at least 70,000 words. While entries do not primarily have to be romances, each must contain a relationship that progresses to the next romantic level by the end of the book. Young Adult entries are also eligible for this contest (the 70,000 word count doesn’t apply to Young Adult manuscripts).
