Call for Er0tic Stories for Gay Couples: Afternoon Pl3asures (Cleis Press)

Post date: 01 January 2011
Deadline: 2 February 2011

Afternoon Pl3asures: Er0tic Stories for Gay C0uples

Payment: $60/story

With the political climate the way it is in regard, or should I say in disregard to gay rights, I can’t think of a better time to do this anthology. I want to celebrate not only gay er0tica, but relationships, partnerships, marriage and male on male c0upling. Think of steamy sex between the sheets, couples on their honeymoon in an ex0tic designation, sultry one night stands, or h0t h00kups in hotel rooms. Use your imagination. I’m especially looking for a range of s3xual diversity and adventure.

How to submit: Send double spaced Times or Times New Roman 12 point black font Word document with pages numbered (in rtf format.) Include ALL contact information and a bio on the first page of your story. Indent the first line of each paragraph half an inch and double space (regular double spacing, do not add extra lines between paragraphs or do any other irregular spacing). US grammar (double quotation marks around dialogue, etc.) required. The minimum word count is 2k to 5k being the max. If you are using a pseudonym, please provide your real name and pseudonym and make it clear which one you’d like to be credited as. There is no particular theme for this anthology so anything goes.

Please send your stories to sdallison01@hotmail.com, with “Afternoon Pleasures” in the subject line.

I’ve been seeing numerous recent submissions that do not conform to my guidelines. They are there for a reason. Please read and follow them or risk your submission being rejected or returned for reformatting. If you have any questions, please contact me at sdallison01@hotmail.com
