Harlequin loves young women. I'll drink to that!
Big changes are happening at Harlequin.
The April issue of the Romance Writers Report announced that the publisher has launched its own Harlequin Teen imprint for young adults, between the ages of 13 and 17. Teens can visit Harlequin Teen Panel to offer input, enter contests, and chat with other romance aficionados. This is great news for contemporary YA readers and writers.
In other news, writer Dzireena Mahadzir has reported that a publishing house in Malaysia is working with Harlequin to translate and release popular titles in Bahasa (Indonesia’s official national language). KarnaDya Solutions, a three-year-old publishing house which targets the youth market, and Harlequin Enterprises have joined forces, under a brand called Red Dress Ink.
Red Dress Ink novels are targeted towards female readers, between 15 and 35 years of age, who enjoy humorous stories about young urban women struggling to discover themselves.
Chick lit is going global!
