The Harlequin More than Words Program is looking for a few good women

Somewhere right now a woman’s compassion is improving the quality of life in her community-not only for herself, but for those she cares about most. With each act of kindness, each word of support, she is proving that real-life heroines do exist. At Harlequin, we believe that her story should be told!

We are soliciting nominations of ordinary women who have made extraordinary contributions to their communities. Five women will be chosen as Harlequin More Than Words award recipients each year, and Harlequin will make a donation of $10,000 to each of their chosen causes. A collection of short stories inspired by their lives will be written by a selection of our most acclaimed authors. These stories will be published and shared with our readers, with proceeds from the book reinvested in Harlequin’s charitable initiatives.

Submissions can be made online or through the mail and the deadline is September 5, 2008.
