Taking Submissions: Blood in the Rain
June 1, 2015
Deadline: June 1, 2015
Payment: 2.5 cents a word, with a minimum of $75
For the vampire erotica anthology Blood in the Rain, available October 2015, we seek short stories of 2000–7000 words, preferably by Northwest authors—from Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska.
Your story must include both a vampire and an erotic element, but it doesn’t have to be a “true” vampire, whatever that is, and the vampire doesn’t have to be the story’s focus. Erotically, we’re open to anything from a sexy tease to hardcore adult content. We encourage stories nonstereotypically including people who are LGBTQI (or A if you can make it work), people of color, and people any age above 18.
Most of all, we want compelling characters having hot sex, with a story that draws us in. And a vampire. Bottom line: Make us horny.
Stories due June 1, 2015. We pay on acceptance: 2.5 cents a word, with a minimum of $75.
