Harlequin Ambassadors Program ending

Quote from finzz2dlft : This is just an FYI for anyone who belongs to the Harlequin Ambassadors program. If you recieved a shipment of books to evaluate a month or two ago, be aware that it will be your last one. I recieved my usual email from Harlequin today, asking me to evaluate the books I had recieved, and then at the end, there was a notice that the program was closing and no more books will be shipped The program had been in place for 4 years, so I guess they got all the feedback they needed. No word was mentioned about the Harlequin Teen panel, so hopefully it is still going strong!

I had the survey also to evaluate the books but I had not received the books because I moved. I indicated this in the survey and was prompted to give my new address so they could ship me more. It didnt say anything about it ending. hmmm....

I googled the Ambassador's program, just to be sure it wasn't only me getting kicked out and found a couple of other people mention that that they had the same results with their survey...

Dear Harlequin Ambassador,

We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude and appreciation to you for the wonderful contributions you have provided us through your participation in the Harlequin Ambassadors program. Because of your passion, Harlequin books have found their way into book clubs and community centers, salons and mechanic shops, doctors’ offices and your friends’ living rooms. By sharing your enthusiasm for our books, you’ve changed people’s perceptions of Harlequin. In addition to implementing changes in the attitudes of readers, you have also been instrumental in determining the direction of the books themselves. Harlequin editors have considered your feedback while working on storylines. Your comments have also had an impact on the art department in the design and look of our covers.

For all these reasons, we sincerely wish to thank you for being part of an exclusive team. You have been a tremendous contributor to the look, feel and presentation of Harlequin books. We have thoroughly enjoyed hearing your thoughts and comments and we hope you continue to talk to us by participating in conversations about the books you love through our Harlequin Community and various blogs, Twitter and Facebook accounts.
