Slick Friction is also currently accepting submissions for a literary paranormal erotic anthology for stories between 12,000 and 25,000 words. We are interested in stories which draw from literature -- for example, perhaps one of Dracula's wives had a lesbian lover? Or Oberon and Titania brought a third fairy into their love-making? Or maybe one of the Greek sirens saved a sailor for the weekend? Any submission sent to us that fits this concept will automatically be considered for this anthology collection. More details coming soon.

SHORT STORY SUBMISSIONS

Slick Friction accepts submissions for erotic romance short stories on a continuous basis.  Word count should range between 1500 and 7500 words.

Short stories are usually published only on our website.

We will, however, occasionally publish anthologies of erotic romance short stories. These anthologies may or may not be theme based. We also run erotic short story contests from time to time. Check back often for contest rules and deadlines.

Submissions should be double-spaced, Times New Roman, font size 12 and sent as Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or rich text format (.rtf) files.

All files should be named using the following convention:

title_author_wordcount

For example:

Snakes and Honey_Scarlet Madwin_4,245

The subject line of the email should read:

Submission for title, author, word count

For example:

Submission for Snakes and Honey, Scarlet Madwin, 4,245

For short story submissions please send the entire story as an attachment to your e-mail. In the body of your e-mail please include a brief overview of the story and a brief (150 words or less) biography at the end of your email.

We do accept multiple submissions, however, they should be sent in separate e-mails so they can be more easily tracked.

Unfortunately, the editors of Slick Friction do not always have time to respond personally to each submission. If we are interested in publishing your short story, we will contact you within 3 months of submission. If you have not heard from us within 90 days, you may assume we will not be using your short story. Simultaneous submissions to other publishers are acceptable, but you must make us aware of this in your e-mail and keep us apprised of your story's situation.

PAYMENT FOR SHORT STORIES

If we include your short story as a "free read" on our website, there is no payment involved. However, you will receive full credit for your story including your biography and a link to your website or a website where your work is published or sold.

If your short story is listed for sale in our online bookstore, you will receive 33% royalties which are paid quarterly. If your short story is made available at other retailers, you will receive 20% in royalties. See our contract and payment page for complete details on this process.

If your short story is included in an electronic or print anthology, you will receive a $15 flat fee.
