My Manuscript Wish List®
I’m Carly Silver, assistant editor for Harlequin Romantic Suspense. I’m passionate about happily-ever-afters in all their various forms, but in particular for Harlequin’s series romance programs.
Got a sexy loner cowboy? A brilliant female CEO of color who’s looking for the man of her dreams? A veterinarian who wants love and puppies? A romantic suspense with a kick-butt heroine who’s a tech genius? I’m the editor for you.
Fun facts about me:
- I’m a huge horse racing fan! You can find me on the Derby trail or at Saratoga in the summer.
- I someday dream of owning all of the corgis.
- In my spare time, I write a lot about ancient history.

I’d like the next…
I’m looking for diverse authors across all of our series romance programs. In particular, I’m looking for the next Brenda Jackson: smart, sexy romance and hot, hot heroes!
In terms of hooks that I love, give me miniseries about brothers, cowboys, people who work with animals, CEOs, military men and women, and marriages of convenience. I want the series romance versions of The Bollywood Bride by Sonali Dev, Topaz by Beverly Jenkins, and Erin McCarthy/Lori Foster in a small town.
