Publisher: Ravenous Romance
Editor: EM Lynley
Payment: Royalties
Email: lynley.editor at gmail.com
Length: 3,500 - 10,000 words
Deadline: June 15, 2009 or until spots filled -- query ASAP if you need an extension
Publication Date: July 2009

The first one will be stories based on traditional fairy tales, but with a GLBT slant. Here's your chance to spice up some favorite childhood tales in a way you've never seen before, but always wanted to tell the story! Feel free to use non-European tales as a base. Here are a couple of great resources for inspiration: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fairy_tales and http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/talesindex.html

Currently accepting only m/m stories as there has been an abundance of f/f queries and subs. CLOSED to f/f subs unless you have previously queried.

All stories must have an erotic element, with a preference for romance over pure erotica. That means there should be a relationship between the characters beyond merely a sexual one. The sex should have emotion and I want to feel that along with the characters. These are fairy tales so there should be HEA or HFN, whichever is more appropriate for your story.

Deadline June 15, 2009. You may submit anytime before then, but I may not have a decision on yours until closer to the deadline. I strongly suggest a query in advance, with a 1-2 paragraph summary of your plotline to avoid having 10 Little Red Riding Hood stories, though perhaps that would be an interesting anthology on its own.

HOW TO SUBMIT

Specifics: 3,500 to 10,000 words. Please be sure your submission is free of typos and errors. Polish your story before sending it, please! No rape, underage, incest or bestiality. If you have other content you feel might be questionable, email me for clarification.

Format: send in RTF or Word (no docx), double spaced with no headers or footers.

Terms $10 per story advance against the royalties on ebook sales (and other non-exclusive subsidiary rights) for a period of three years.  Royalties are a pro rata share of the 35% on ebooks and 15% on audiobooks. If they sell additional subsidiary rights, additional payments will follow! More details of the rights here: http://ravenousromance.blogspot.com/...contracts.html

To submit, please send an attached document to lynley.editor @ gmail.com. Be sure your name & pseudonym, address, email, word count and a short summary of the story appear on the first page of your attached document (not only in your email). Also please include a 150-word bio suitable for publication with the story.

Feel free to email me with any questions: lynley.editor @ gmail.com
