Speculative Romance Contest for Dorchester

Dorchester has a new speculative romance line called Shomi, and they're having a contest for manuscripts.

What is speculative romance? According to the website description, “These romances aren’t bound rules or any one reality. They’re suspense, they’re paranormal, they’re fantasy, they’re sci fi… But above all, they’re romance at it’s very best.”

The contest guidelines say the prize is a publishing contract. You must submit fifty pages of a 80,00-90,000 word manuscript. The deadline is April 30, 2008.
