Editors: Richard Labonte; 2012 judge, Larry Duplechan
Guidelines:
Short stories, novel excerpts, memoirs, narrative artwork, er0tic essays - original or reprint - are now being accepted for Best Gay Er0tica 2012 (the 17th edition). Maximum length: 7,000 words. Reprints must have appeared in print or online, or been scheduled to appear, between July 2010 and August 2011. BGE is not a "theme" anthology, so anything goes - any fantasy, all flesh, every genre - as long as the work is int3nsely er0tic, lusci0usly literary, and quite, quite queer.
Thirty-five to 40 stories will be selected by series editor Richard Labonte from among submissions. Winners will be selected from the finalists by this year's judge, Larry Duplechan, author of the Lambda Literary Award-winning the novel Got 'til Its Gone.
Queries and submissions to: bgecleis2012@gmail.com.
Multiple submissions okay; include real name/address/ 50-word bio. Payment $50-$75 plus two contributor copies.
