We look for creative storytelling and original style. We want you to weave tales of erotic fantasy and contemporary encounters by creating strong, dynamic and intelligent characters that your readers will remember. Plot driven erotica that illustrates the relationship between key characters, ideally with a sex positive slant, but, it should always be valid and meaningful. We want varying degrees of sex throughout the story, with lots of opportunity for erotic exploration, interwoven with levels of tension and passion. We want meaningful and expressive language that is thoughtfully explicit, but suitable for the storyline. Please keep euphemisms to a minimum. We want writers who have a unique and new approach and a writing style that sets them apart from the rest. You must have a true talent for storytelling with an erotic flavour and write in a way that is suitable for a listening as well as a reading audience. We accept and encourage gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual and heterosexual stories.
