You can enter more than once.
Romance Junkies is a PG-13 site and since the entries are going to be
online to be judged by the readers they need to be PG13. Please submit
nothing your boss would look over your shoulder and fire you for reading
at work. If you have any questions please contact Kimberly at writingcontest@romancejunkies.com.
Your manuscript can be really steamy and more than PG13, but the part
you send into us has to be PG13 so we can post it on the Readers Loop/RJ
Blog for voting ;-)
