I’m a huge fan of genre erotica. When authors are confined to a specific “theme” it’s always fun to see where their imaginations will take them. Spanking Erotica is some of my favorite. It can be vanilla or hardcore, lesbian or straight, male or female dominant, hands or whips. Anyway you write it, it’s still hot.

Rachel Kramer Bussel, former columnist for the Village Voice is looking for submissions for a new book of erotica all about spanking. If you’ve been yearning to get your pen moving, this would be a great venue. If you need a little inspiration, check out our fantastic erotica -straight and queer.

Call for Submissions

Spanked: Red-Cheeked Erotica
Edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel
To be published by Cleis Press in 2008

Editor Rachel Kramer Bussel is looking for erotica stories on her
favorite topic: spanking! I want creative, original spanking stories
in a variety of settings using all sorts of implements. Spanking as
part of roleplay, discipline, adventure, foreplay, etc. are fair game.
The book will be primarily heterosexual, with a mix of male and female
spankers and spankees, though there will be some lesbian/gay/bisexual
content included. I’d especially like stories that aren’t
run-of-the-mill but that are believable/realistic.

Unusual settings/scenarios, a variety of spanking implements, use of
sex toys/bondage, group scenarios, and public spanking scenes are all
encouraged. Most of all, I want stories that truly eroticize spanking
in every way possible. Stories can include sex as well as spanking but
don’t have to if the plotline and spanking are done right. All
characters should be over 18, and no incest or bestiality. To get a
taste of what I like, please consult Naughty Spanking Stories from A
to Z 1 and 2 (Pretty Things Press). Original stories only; no
reprints.

Payment: Contributors will receive $50/story and 2 copies of the
anthology on publication.

How to submit: Send double spaced Times New Roman 12 point font Word
document OR RTF of 2,000-4,000 word story along with your legal name
(and pseudonym if applicable), mailing address, and 50-75 word bio to
spankingantho@gmail.com - make sure you indent at the start of each
paragraph and do not add extra lines between paragraphs. Those who do
not submit in this format and include this information will not be
considered. Authors may submit ONE story only; do not send more than
one! If you want to make sure I’ve received your submission, please
state that in your cover letter. Send only the final version of your
story; do NOT submit a draft or unfinished version only to later
submit an updated version. If for some reason it is impossible to send
your story as a Word document or RTF attachment, please paste it into
the body of your email.

You can expect to hear from me by January 2008 at the latest. Any
questions about this anthology should be sent to
spankingantho@gmail.com

Deadline: September 30, 2007
