Another opportunity!

Last month I solicited one-sheets from new authors. I received quite a few and am working my way through them. Thanks to all who submitted to me. If you have NOT heard from me yet, please resend your one-sheet or ask me about it. (Just in case I somehow overlooked yours).

Today I have another opportunity to announce. This one is for already published novelists in CBA. If the following series idea rings your chimes, have your agent send me a one-sheet. Or if you’re unagented, send it to me yourself. But, please, this offer is for fiction authors who have been published by a royalty paying publisher.

Here’s the series:

The Angels to the Rescue Series

Summary
A fiction series of warmhearted, romantic, poignant, contemporary stories where everyday angels are the heroes.

We are looking for stories focusing on the experiences of inspiring men and women who exhibit the grace and strength of angels in the face of everyday life and illuminate the power of miracles unfolding, faith during trials, and the healing of hope. These protagonists would include, but not be limited to, police, firefighters, emergency response workers, doctors, nurses, teachers, pastors, veterinarians, and philanthropists.

We’re looking for authors who can write a story that’s very compelling and touching and poignant with a bit of the miraculous (like an episode of Touched by an Angel, say) with some romance thrown in for good measure. We envision these stories having the same broad appeal that the nonfiction books have had—you have crisis, of course (it’s hard to be rescued by an angel without some kind of crisis), but the book isn’t all about the crisis—it’s more about the hope and the inspiration and the warm feeling you get at the end when it all works out.

Note: the above reference to “Touched by An Angel” is about the emotional appeal of the television program. This series is not looking for actual angels, but normal human beings who act as angels in the lives of others.

Sample Book Title Options
• Miracle in Room 301
• A Prayer for Baby Sue
• Smiles from Heaven
• Faith Finds a Home

Authors

Authors would change from title to title, allowing Harvest House to connect with popular novelists who might be open to doing a standalone for us in this series. We’re looking for already established novelists within CBA.

Length would be 90,000-100,000 words.
