Lock-Fill Today

Harlequin will close its Harlequin Historical romance line in 2027, Reactor reports. The company will not acquire new titles for the line, and in September 2027 will “[cease] U.S. and U.K. retail efforts as well as digital publishing.” An author suggested that the company will continue to publish any titles under contract, and that it “plans to continue exploiting foreign language rights in markets where historical titles remain strong.” PL has reached out to the company for comment.
