If you write your bondage hot, Best Bondage Erotica is the place to be.
Best Bondage Erotica 2015
Editor: Rachel Kramer Bussel
Publisher: Cleis Press
Deadline: March 1, 2014
Payment: $50 and 2 copies of the book on publication
Best Bondage Erotica 2015 will collect the best bondage erotica
stories around, focusing on a range of techniques, implements,
characters and scenarios, from newbies to seasoned bondage players and
everything in between. Bondage should be a central focus of the erotic
element of the story but the plot does not have to hinge on bondage. The
final book will include stories focused on both the physical and mental
aspects of bondage, from varying points of view. Bondage plus other
sexual activity is welcome (spanking, tickling, exhibitionism,
voyeurism, intercourse, oral sex, teasing, etc.). Original, unique,
creative characters, settings, scenarios and forms of bondage are
encouraged. As befitting the title, I'm looking for the best, hottest,
most creative bondage erotica for this collection. All genders/sexual
orientations welcome. No poetry.
Original stories strongly preferred, but reprints of work published
(or slated to be published) between September 2013 and November 2014
will be considered but will be given lower priority than original work
and author MUST include original publication information and retain
reprint rights. All characters must be over 18; no incest or bestiality.
Please see Best Bondage Erotica 2011, 2012, 2013 or 2014 or my other
kinky Cleis Press anthologies (Serving Him, Anything for You, Cheeky
Spanking Stories, Bottoms Up, Spanked, Yes, Sir, Yes, Ma'am, He's on
Top, She's on Top) for an idea of the kinds of stories I prefer. I will
consider up to two stories per author.
How to submit: Send double spaced Times or Times New Roman 12 point
black font Word document with pages numbered (.doc, not .docx) OR RTF of
1,500-4,000 word story. 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. DO NOT submit
multiple versions of your story; submit ONLY your final, complete,
edited version of the story.
Include your legal name (and pseudonym if applicable), mailing address, and 50 word or less bio in the third person to
bestbondage2015@gmail.com.
If you are using a pseudonym, please provide your real name as well as
your pseudonym and make it clear which one you'd like to be credited as.
You will receive a confirmation within 72 hours. I will get back to you
by September 2014. I cannot give any feedback on rejected submissions.
Payment: $50 and 2 copies of the book on publication
