Short Short Orgasm Erotica Anthology Call for Submissions (title TBA)
Edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel
To be published by Cleis Press in 2013
Orgasm... let me count the ways! Editor Rachel Kramer Bussel is looking
for short short stories of 1,200 words or less focused on the theme of
orgasm. The more creative, varied and hot, the better. While these are
extremely short stories, I still expect character development,
exciting plots, and as many types of orgasms as possible. Surprise me!
(For an excellent example of an offbeat orgasm story, see "Chemistry"
by Velvet Moore in my anthology Orgasmic.) Sex toys, group sex,
outdoor sex, masturbation, BDSM, roleplaying, dirty talk, anal sex,
oral sex, exhibitionism, voyeurism, quickies, vacation sex—the sky's
the limit. Orgasm should be either the focus of the story or play a
major role. For an idea of the kinds of short stories I enjoy, see my
previous anthologies
Orgasmic
and
Gotta Have It: 69
Stories of Sudden Sex. Final book will contain a very wide
range of types of orgasm, motivations, scenarios, etc. All genders and
sexual orientations welcome. All characters must be over 18; no scat,
incest or bestiality. No poetry. Original, unpublished stories only. 3
submissions maximum per author.
How to submit: Send double spaced Times or Times New Roman 12 point
black font Word document (.doc or .docx) with pages numbered OR RTF of
1,200 words MAXIMUM. Note that this is a hard maximum and theme of the
anthology and stories that are over 1,200 words will not be
considered. Indent the first line of each paragraph half an inch and
double space (regular double spacing, do not add extra lines between
paragraphs or do any other irregular spacing). US grammar (double
quotation marks around dialogue, etc.) required. Include your legal
name (and pseudonym if applicable), mailing address to orgasmantho at
gmail.com. If you are using a pseudonym, please provide your real name
