The Golden Claddagh is Now Open!

Celtic Hearts Romance Writers is pleased to announce the Golden Claddagh writing contest is in full swing.

From now until May 5, 2011, we are accepting entries in the following categories:

Future, Fantasy & Paranormal: Romance novel where the mains focus is on the romantic relationship, but the future, fantasy or paranormal elements are integral to the story (includes time-travel).

Contemporary: Includes, single title, long and short romantic fiction with a contemporary setting set after 1945. Main focus is the romantic relationship between the hero and heroine.
Romantic Suspense: Romance novels in which suspense, mystery, or thriller elements constitute an integral part of the plot. Main focus is still on the romantic relationship between the hero and heroine.

Historical: Romance novel set primarily before 1945 -- any location.

Celtic – Romantic fiction set in any time period and in any location, but MUST have a Celtic theme (Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, Bretons, Isle of Man). Please specify your time period and setting in your entry.

Erotic Romance: any genre or time period, erotic romance submission only - no straight erotica - this means there must be a HEA ending or at least a Happy For Now.

Our final round judges this year include Deb Werksman from Sourcebooks, as well as Leis Pederson and Katherine Pelz from Berkley Publishing and more!

Entry Fees are $20.00 for Members and $25.00 for Non-Members. You can read all of the details on our site at: CHRW Golden Heart Contest (http://www.celtichearts.org/contest.html)
