For Romance Authors
Want to be part of the 2026 Christmas Countdown? I’m looking for guest contributors who can share something special—not just a media kit, but real festive content that showcases your voice and brings Christmas joy to readers. Think:
- Short Christmas stories
- Holiday recipes
- Essays about seasonal tropes or your books’ settings
- Poems
- Anything creative and festive!
Join the Facebook group now to be the first to know when I start searching for participants for 2026: https://www.facebook.com/groups/romanceadventcalendar I’ll post updates, deadlines, and all the details there first. Plus, it’s a great community for romance authors to connect year-round!
A Little About This Project
The Romance Advent Calendar is designed for readers who love contemporary small-town romance, suspense romance, and the occasional historical romance, paranormal romance, and LGBTQ+ romance. My goal is simple: bring a little Christmas magic to romance readers while giving authors a platform to share something festive and fun with an engaged audience.
