Deadline: July 1st, 2010Pay: $25
Everyone knows the phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words.” What if the picture begs for more than a thousand words? This anthology will feature stories that are inspired by the photo included on the left. What do you think led to this snapshot of this couple? Where are they going and what will ensue after this moment? What kind of world do they live in and what kind of erotic adventures do they have?
You don’t need to have the exact scene in the picture appear in your story, but do use the picture as muse or inspiration. Don’t forget to incorporate both the science fiction or fantasy aspect and the sex, and have fun with this! We’re hoping to see a wide variety of stories giving both a depth of character to these as-yet two-dimensional characters and a storyline as intriguing as the photo.
Submission Details:
The deadline for submissions is July 1, 2010. Our preferred word length is approximately 3500 to 7500 words, but we will consider stories that range from 2000 to 10,000 words. All submissions must be made via email to: jlevineeditor@gmail.com. Submissions sent to other addresses/other editors at Circlet Press will not be considered. Manuscripts should be correctly/professionally formatted for submission. (If you’re not sure what we mean by that, Google it.) Don’t forget to include your complete contact information in the manuscript document itself!
All stories must include explicit sexuality and erotic focus. (For more details on our editorial preferences, see the general submission guidelines. We *highly* recommend reading the guidelines, especially the “do not send” list, to increase your chances of sending us something we’ll love.) Try to avoid clichés. Fresh and direct language is preferred to overly euphemistic. Sex-positive stories are a must: no rape/nonconsensuality/necrophilia or other purposefully gross topics will be considered.
Original stories only, no reprints. E-books pay $25 per story, with an additional $25 if the book goes into a print edition. Authors get one copy of each edition, as well. Author retains the reprint rights to individual story; we buy non-exclusive rights to inclusion in this anthology only.
