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:
“Of all the words mentioned in language, there is not one that I hate more than the word “right.” Is it your right that your field prospers? That you don’t drop dead this very instant? Are living and breathing your right? As far as I can see, nothing but grace and blessing fill the universe, and these worms talk about right?”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
