Special Issues on Erotic Literature Genres
The magazine dedicates issues to exploring sub-genres like BDSM, romantic erotica, or queer erotica in literature. Submissions are accepted for thematic issues that explore topics like kink, disability, race, ethnicity, gender identity, or culture. In addition to fiction, the magazine publishes nonfiction essays about erotic writing, such as interviews with authors, book reviews, scholarly articles, or commentary on social aspects. The magazine's mission is to showcase diverse voices and perspectives in erotic literature while providing educational resources to readers. It enriches literary exploration by creating an open space for experimentation and discussion of these topics.
Writers can submit their work for consideration in one of these special issues, which may be published in print or digital form. Each issue will have a specific editor who curates submissions based on their expertise and perspective. For example, one editor might focus on LGBTQIA+ erotica, another on feminist perspectives in eroticism, etc. This creates a platform for writers from different backgrounds to share their work with a wider audience and connect with each other through shared experiences.
To apply for publication, writers must follow submission guidelines carefully and provide all necessary information accurately. Guidelines include word count limits, formatting requirements, and thematic alignment with the current issue theme. Editors will reject incomplete applications or those not meeting standards. Writers should also consider reading past issues before submitting to understand what kind of material is being published and how it aligns with their own work.
Submission deadlines vary depending on the issue schedule and availability of slots. However, generally, submissions are accepted year-round. The first step in submitting is determining whether your piece fits within the scope of what the magazine accepts and following submission guidelines correctly. The second step involves polishing your writing until it meets professional standards. Finally, make sure you clearly express why this particular topic matters to you personally as well as professionally so that editors know what makes your work unique among others they receive.
