For all of you who wanted to write erotica
This is a list for all of you who wanted to write erotica and make an income with it. I started this thread because I found that many people are asking about writing erotica as side income. Here is a list for you guys:
Cleis Press Kink Anthology Call
Cleis Press
Call for Submissions: kinky erotica anthology
Deadline: March 1, 2014
Please send me your best 500-1500 word stories on kink. Yeah, that's it. Kink. What does kink mean? Well, to me, kink includes fetishes of all sorts: spanking, bondage, leather, rubber, orgies, sex toys, stockings, voyeurism, phone sex, public displays, gang bangs (gotta love the gang bangs), clubbing, exhibitionism, tickling...
Make sure not to trip over my no-nos: no non-consensual, underage, incestuous, or bestiality-themed stories. Please. For the love of God. Please.
The small print:
I am paying $40 per story. Authors may sub three stories max. Deadline is March 1st. I will respond to writers by April 1st. The book will be published by Cleis Press. I will make payment via Paypal within 30 days of publication. Paypal takes out fees—because Paypal is a business. I will send you $41.50 per story that is accepted by Cleis (because the publisher has final say of all content), and you will (or you should if I've crossed my i's and dotted my t's) receive $40.
What have I left out? Aside from the kitchen sink. Oh, yes. How do you submit? Simple. Paste your submissions into an email and send to msalisontyler at yahoo dot com. Include a 50-word max bio with one link only. I am not considering reprints at this time.
THE MAN CAVE
Erotica for Men! Torrid Books is seeking submissions for their new line, The Man Cave. These stories are geared toward the male reader, but women will enjoy them too!
Stories may contain:
Bisexuality, BDSM , Casual Encounters, Exhibitionism, Erotic Fantasy, Female Domination, Fetishism, Group Sex, Gay/Lesbian, Masturbation, May/December Affairs (F/M or M/F), Oral Sex, Anal Sex, Sex Toys, Swinging, Menage, Voyeurism.
Stories may feature humor, horror, suspense, or dark themes, but all submissions must be explicitly erotic. A romantic plot or sub-plot is not mandatory, but may also be part of the story. We believe in pushing boundaries. We want stories with intense sexuality and excellent writing. If it's well written erotica, we want to see it!
Submissions may only be made by adults eighteen years of age and older. By submitting material you confirm that you are eighteen years of age or older.
We do still insist on a few taboos:
Taboo:
Incest (between blood relatives)
Underage sex (characters must be 18 or older)
Necrophilia (excluding vampires)
Bestiality (shapeshifters excepted)
Snuff (ack!)
We will consider short stories of 5,000 to 10,000 words.
We prefer stories between 10,000 and 40,000 words.
We do not accept anything over 50,000 words.
Send your submissions to [email protected] and please put The Man Cave in your subject line.

FRIENDS TO LOVERS
What happens when the guy you've known forever starts to rev your engine and trip your trigger?

Do you have a story of love that was slow to bloom, or maybe realization of people in love that they are more than mere friends?
