Hi Everyone, Sandra Orchard here.
Did you know that Harlequin has forums for readers to interact with each other, and editors, and authors?
They recently spruced them up, giving them a new look and making them easier to navigate.
If you're new to the community, you'll have to join to comment. If you were previously a part of it, you'll have to re-update your profile. I found it still had me logged in, but had lost my profile pic etc.
To help you find the MOST IMPORTANT places on site, I've included them below for your convenience.

And one for Canadians (because I am...but this isn't part of the LI lineup):

A quick added tip, since I just checked a link this morning that worked find for me when I drafted this post.
I noticed that when I clicked the LIS link and perhaps the same is true of the others...I was taken to a general welcome page for all the forums.
But when I copy and paste the link into my browser, it takes me to the proper place. (I was already signed in in both cases. If you're not signed in or signed up for the community forums, you may have to do that first.)
ASPIRING WRITERS: This just in...pitch your story to LI editor Emily Rodmell!
