Brief Encounters
Payment: $20/story
I’m looking for the best, h0ttest, most creative short short gay er0tica for this collection. Original stories preferred, but reprints of work published (or slated to be published) between September 2009 and December 2010 will be considered. All characters must be over 18. I am not just looking for the typical stories but tales that are intriguing, thrilling, unique and always h0t! So think outside the box with this one, guys. With your help, this will be a fun book. This will be an anthology catering to gay male readers.
Note: I’m not taking poems and the stories can be up to 1200 wds.
How to submit: Send double spaced Times or Times New Roman 12 point black font Word document with pages numbered (.doc, not .docx) OR RTF of 1,200 word 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. Include your legal name (and pseudonym if applicable), mailing address, and 50 word or less bio in the third person to sdallison01@hotmail.com. 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.
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
