Help Wanted: At times, everyone needs a bit of help. And
love doesn’t always come easily. The historical department at The Wild
Rose Press is pleased to announce Help Wanted, an exciting new arranged
marriage series where cupid gets a little push.
Help Wanted stories should focus on the struggles of heroes
and heroines who need a mate—fast!
Maybe it’s the lonely frontiersman looking for a wife to help him settle
his claim. The war widow who needs a
handyman. The soldier eager to marry before heading off to war. The hippie
posting a sign at Woodstock. Let’s not forget the Regency heroine thought to be
past the marriage market, the lord who needs to sire an heir, or the heroine
desperate enough to become a mail order bride.
An announcement or advertisement must appear within the
first twenty pages to get the story started. Your characters may advertise on
their own or have the advertised-for spouse thrust upon them. We are looking
for fresh ideas and unique twists to bring about the arranged marriage rather
than the same old tired plots.
Stories must be historically
accurate and suited to one of the following lines: American Rose, Cactus Rose,
Tea Rose, Vintage Rose**. Story length of all ranges will be considered, but we
prefer to see 2ok and up to give the relationship time to develop. Please
follow the general submission guidelines on the website for formatting and
submit via queryus@thewildrosepress.com. “Help Wanted” should appear in the
subject line, as well as your title.
**while
this series was created with historical authors in mind, if you can find a
valid reason and believable plot for a contemporary arranged marriage story,
TWRP will gladly consider it for this series!

During the months of continuous intense work it’s easy to get trapped in the mindset that you have to do something pretty much all the time. This can add a lot of tensions and stress.
Having read your article, we are pleased to inform you that it is excellent. Please continue to produce articles of this quality. My article is about cps speed tests. Having multiple CPS capabilities in the game allows you to attack more often, perform combos during attacks, and shoot opponents faster without inflicting much damage (as long as the opponent reduces your CPS).
