The Livewire Publishing launch happened at the 2000 Romance Writers of Australia Inc. National Conference in Brisbane on 13 August 2000.

Publishing Director, Robyn Lidstone, encouraged romance writers to submit manuscripts for three lines:

• Corporate Capers
• Broken Hearted
• Love Sequels

An announcement to all RWA members appeared in the September issue of their monthly newsletter - HeartsTalk.

Our web site was available immediately so writers could go straight to the guidelines and submission instructions. Our first 'electronic submission' was received very soon after the launch.
