		<description>Here's their website with guidelines for writers.  It doesn't mention the pay for the first novel.
I did find another site called SHOW ME THE MONEY that listed the pay for different romance publishers:</description>

		<description>Pretty standard pay for a first-time author is about 1000 to 1500 dollars, regardless of who your publisher is.  If they're a big-name, like Harlequin, they'll give you that much ***? an advance, and then more in the very unlikely event that your earned royalties exceed that amount.

Check out the Romance Writers of America for more information and details.  The Harlequin website also has some ****?d advice about writing.  Both links are below.</description>
