MTJ Publishing Submission Guidelines
MTJ Publishing is always interested in working with new writers and artists. The guidelines below will give you an idea of what we’re looking for and how to submit your work.
FICTION:
We are looking for exciting, well-plotted fiction that vividly evokes the experience of tickling or being tickled. Interrogation and abduction fantasies are welcome, and we’re always interested in hearing about the lesser-explored byways of our fetish, both dark and light. We are very open to same-sex material, both F/F and M/M.
We publish novellas and collections of four or more short stories in digital ebook format. We are open to longer works, but as a rule of thumb ebooks should be a minimum of 12,000 words in length. If you have a single short story you are interested in submitting to our magazine Tales from the Asylum, please contact MTJpub to find out when we’ll be reading for the next issue.
Our collections are usually grouped around a specific theme. For example, Colin’s Laughing Boys or Rohana’s Tormented Soles features F/M tickling. J.R.’s Barefoot Bouquet features barefoot tickling; and Xodlirv’s Make Her Talk features interrogation. Other examples can be found on the MTJ Publishing website. We tend to be more interested in contemporary/realistic scenarios, as these sell better, but we are open to science fiction & fantasy-themed material.
Please submit any questions you might have to MTJ Publishing. You may inquire about an unfinished project, but we cannot commit to publishing anything until we’ve had a chance to review and evaluate a complete manuscript.
PAYMENT:
MTJ Publishing typically pays 50% royalties on fiction ebooks and artist-created e-comics. We do not pay advances at this time.
We pay $40 for single stories for Tales from the Asylum and $50 for single illustrations. Rates for finished e-comics scripted by one of our writers vary; contact us for more details.
NOTE: We do not publish any material involving characters under the age of eighteen (including flashbacks to scenes in a character’s childhood), excessive violence, or death. We also do not publish material based on celebrities or characters or worlds owned by other creators. If you are unsure if your project contains unacceptable material, please contact us.
