Toy Boxes open a whole world of amazing toys!! In them you'll find all sorts of goodies: plugs, feathers, cuffs, just to name a few.
Toy Boxes are small collections of three stories ranging from 3000-7000 words each for a total of 10000-20000 words. We'll post themes that we'd like to see, and authors can submit one story or a whole collection. Entire collections must center around a single toy box item.
M/M stories are preferred. If you have an f/f or m/m/f toy box you'd like to submit, please query at submissions@torquerepress.com.
Our standard submission requirements apply as far as formatting and cover letters. Please send all submissions to submissions@torquerepress.com care of M. Rode.
Payment for this line is standard royalty rates, split equally amongst all authors.
Please put "Toy Boxes (title)" in the subject line of all emails.
Follow our general guidelines and send your submissions in to submissions@torquerepress.com
