Harlequin expands digital-based output

In a press release sent out yesterday, the romance and women’s fiction publisher announced the launch of four digital entertainment ventures, specifically: Harlequin Mini eBooks, Harlequin Mini Round Robin eBooks, the launch of the eBook Boutique on eHarlequin.com and www.writeharlequin.com, a platform for gathering reader-generated content.

“No other publisher is doing anything like this,” says Malle Vallik, Editorial Director of Harlequin’s New Business Development department about the Mini e-books. “These delicious ‘bite-size’ stories are exclusive to eHarlequin.com’s eBook Boutique.” Ten Harlequin Mini eBooks will be available during the August launch of the imprint. Four new Harlequin Mini eBooks will appear every month thereafter. Each story costs only 99 cents to download.
