Rakuten Kobo Originals Announces the 2024 Holiday Rom-Com Writing Contest

Calling all Romance Writers!

If you’re a contemporary romance fan — why stop at reading? Why not try your hand at writing instead? Whether there’s a rom-com story in the back of your head that you’ve been itching to write, or you have the drafts stashed away in a drawer or hiding in the depths of your Notes app – we want those ideas to see the light of day and bring them to life!

Kobo Originals is running its first-ever writing contest in Canada where the winner will have the opportunity to have their story published exclusively as a Kobo Original eBook this holiday season. We’re looking for previously unpublished works from Canadian authors.

Submissions open June 14, 2024 and close August 15, 2024.

Submission form can be found HERE and full contest rules can be found HERE.

Submissions should include the following:

  • Full author name;
  • Email addresses and phone number;
  • Mailing address (CANADA ONLY);
  • Name of the novella being submitted;
  • 200 word maximum description on what makes your novella a winning entry;
  • 15,000-20,000 word manuscript, previously unpublished (.pdf or .docx version of the submission accepted).

Happy writing! If you have any questions, please contact Kobo Writing Life directly at writinglife@kobo.com.
