Slash Books - Call for Submissions

[nms_sbmod]

Hi everyone

 

(Thanks again, CJ, for continuing to allow us to post calls here!)

 

It's time for our third anthology!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Slash Books is looking for short stories (500 - 20K words) that explore gay, lesbian, or alternative lifestyle romance. Be creative!

 

Sword and Sorcery. Supernatural creatures. Magic. Sexy and sensuous, the characters in "Queer Magic" live in worlds where the supernatural is sometimes hidden, sometimes well known, but always real. Each story in this anthology includes aspects of magic or the supernatural, from time travel to exotic realms.

 

Your story should focus on the relationship and its evolution. While sex is a part of many healthy relationships, we're looking for plot and characterization, not simple PWP (Plot? What Plot?). Intriguing characters and interesting situations are the ticket to success here. All genres (humour, action, angst, etc) welcome. For this anthology, we're aiming for happy endings.

 

The chosen stories will be published in print and e-book form, and all authors will be compensated based on story length as well as per item sold, with a typical fee of approximately $100 CAD per story. Each author will also get up to three printed copies of the full anthology free of charge. Full submissions guidelines can be downloaded from http://www.slashbook..._Guidelines.doc .

 

Deadline for submissions: June 25, 2011

Estimated publication date: July 31, 2011.
