MEET THE TEAM
We’ve got the love –

Kimberley
Young
is publishing director of Women’s Fiction at HarperCollins. Kim has over ten years of experience in editing commercial
women’s fiction. She has a soft spot for rom coms and is currently obsessed
with new adult and short reads. Kim simply can’t pick her one favourite
romance hero of all time, as there are too many good ones to choose from.
Instead she has a new flavour each and every month. So, today her pick is Deacon Claybourne from
the new series Nashville. Why? He’s brooding, plays the guitar and only loves
one woman...
Katie
Sadler
is the digital marketing manager at HarperFiction and is deeply attached to her
Smartphone/laptop/iPad/wherever she can get on to the Internet. She loves
reading anything and everything, particularly crime and fantasy when there’s a
really good hero. Her favourite ever romantic hero is Westley from the Princess
Bride, but only when he stops being the sappy farm boy and turns into the Dread
Pirate Roberts. She’s on the other end of @HarperImpulse, so send her a
tweet and say hello!
Richard
Parfitt
started in publishing in 2000, and after a brief side step into the world of
television, now works at HarperCollins in Technology and gets himself involved
in all sorts of projects and plans across the business. His absolute favourite
project is Harper Impulse and since getting involved has found himself rabidly
reading all manner of romance fiction!
A geek at heart, his natural preference is for SF and
fantasy themed romance, so is looking forward to reading any submissions about
cross dressing sex bots in space.
Charlotte
Ledger
began working in publishing in 2011 and has always been a book lover but, since
watching her first episode of Dawson’s Creek when she was 13, she’s found it
impossible to resist a good love story! Pacey Witter stole her heart and her
life it seems as her addiction for all things romance eventually led to her
working at Mills & Boon. Thrilled to be at Harper Impulse, she can’t wait
to fall in love with your submissions and find the next exciting new voices in
Romance. So what are you waiting for? The inbox is open! You can follow
Charlotte on twitter @girl_on_a_ledge.
