Harlequin Enterprises runs Harlequin More Than Words, a community investment program to reward women's work in communities across North America. Harlequin Enterprises solicits nominations of women who are making notable contributions to their communities. Five women are chosen as Harlequin More Than Words award recipients each year, and a donation of $50,000 is divided equally among their charitable causes. A collection of romance-fiction short stories inspired by their lives is then written by five of Harlequin's leading authors. Some of the biggest names in women's fiction have donated their time and talent to the annual More Than Words anthology, including Diana Palmer, Debbie Macomber, Susan Wiggs and Linda Lael Miller. The first book was published in October 2004, with a new volume published annually. Proceeds from the sale of the book are reinvested in the Harlequin More Than Words program.

Famous quotes containing the word words:
“Sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter,
Dearer than eyesight, space, and liberty,
Beyond what can be valued, rich or rare,
No less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honor;
As much as child e’er loved, or father found,
A love that makes breath poor and speech unable.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
