Editor Jane Callan is looking for stories of 5,000 word length (you can go slightly over but you won’t be paid more) about the concept of the twin emotions of pain and pleasure. The submissions must be full (the story complete) and emailed to jane at gmail dot com by October 1, 2010 as an MS Word Attachment with the subject line: "Pain/Pleasure Anthology Submission."
There is no limitation on genre. I definitely want a lot of variety such as m/m, femdom, diversity in characters. The work can have been published on your website but it cannot have been sold in publication.
Payment is $500 for each contracted submission with .25% royalty in exchange for world digital, audio and print rights.
Jane Callan is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading.
