Call For Submissions

Women in Lust
Editor: Rachel Kramer Bussel
Publisher: Cleis Press in Spring 2011
Deadline: November 1, 2010 (earlier submissions preferred)
Payment: $50/story and 2 copies of the book on publication

Earlier submissions are truly welcome as I work on the books on a rolling basis so theres more space at the beginning than near the end, though all stories submitted by the deadline will be considered.

Women in Lust is for female (or female-identified) authors only. I'm not accepting reprints.

Editor Rachel Kramer Bussel is looking for hot, sexy stories of women in all sorts of scenarios, covering everything from vanilla to kink, sex in unusual places, with sex toys, threesomes/group sex, making fantasies come true, BDSM. Stories should grab me with the first sentence and not let go. Looking for characters with a range of voices, storytelling tones, diversity of age, race, sexual experience. Book will feature primarily heterosexual stories but will include some lesbian and bisexual stories as well. All characters must be over 18; no nonconsensual scenes, incest or bestiality. No poetry. See Fast Girls: Erotica for Women for an idea of the types of stories I prefer.

Deadline: November 1, 2010 (earlier submissions preferred)
