Harlequin is one of the largest publishers in the world for romance. Yet controversy has surrounded it of late. It has established a new imprint originally called Harlequin Horizons. Many oppose this imprint as it has moved to the world of self-publishing.

Vanity publishing to some is considered the lowest form of publishing as writers pay upfront for their book to be published. And rightly so as the quality is not always up to scratch but self-publishing itself should not be criticized as there are great self-publishing services which do as they advertise. They aim to get an author’s voice out there, and without this system, we will not have heard of some of the greatest writers.

Dellarte Press’ (Harlequin Horizons) purpose is considered a contradiction to the main focus of the company–all other imprints under Harlequin are traditional royalty paying imprints.
