Mammoth Book of Erotic Romance and Domination
Editor: Maxim Jakubowski
Publisher: Running Press in USA, Robinson in UK.
Deadline: September 30th, 2013
Payment: £75 per story, which at current exchange rate is approx $114
Rights sought: non exclusive world English language anthology rights
This is a stand-alone anthology to go alongside the annual Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica. I am seeking submissions of preferrably previously unpublished stories ( I might consider previously published material but ONLY if I am short of space at the conclusion of my initial selection/reading process and provided the story has only been issued in a difficult to access source).
Any length up to 8,000 words, although am NOT into ‘quickies’ (ie under 2000 words or so) unless they are truly exceptional.
As to what I like, my tastes are idiosyncratic, but best refer to any of the previous volumes of the The Mammoth Erotica series. I’m broadminded, but tend to prefer strong characterisation and some modicum of plot as opposed to merely mood pieces.
The theme speaks for itself in this post 50 SHADES OF GREY era ie I’m seeking strong new stories involving BDSM, but with a touch of romance or at any rate emotions, which means from my perspective that the characters should feel alive and not cardboard cliches or ‘types’.
Submit by mail (NOT e-mail, please as I cannot face the prospect of reading over a thousand or so submissions on a computer screen). Multiple submissions are OK, but not more than three at a time, please. If I accept your story, I will then require it as Word document at a later date only.
