Charity Sip Blitz 2012
It's that time again, where all of our great authors get
together to donate to a charity working within the GLBTQ community! This
year, Torquere Press has chosen NOH8 as the donation charity, and authors who
contribute agree to donate 100% of their royalties to NOH8, with Torquere
Press matching the donation.
This year's theme, since this is Torquere Press' ninth
anniversary as well, is leather. Nine is the leather anniversary, y'all! How
cool is that?
Leather can be reflected in any way in the story. BDSM
may immediately spring to mind, but leather can also mean cowboys, fast
cars, Italian shoes, jewelry, or any of a million other things. We want
stories that show LGBTQ characters in positive situations, and have strong
stories with happy
endings. (Or at least happy for now.)
Word count is 3000 to 8000 words, and those limits are
firm. Please adjust your manuscripts accordingly before submission. Deadline
for submissions is July 1, 2012. Please send all submissions to submissions@torquerepress.com with Charity Sip Blitz in the subject line. For
formatting questions or other content questions, please refer to our general
guidelines, here:
Ink
Do you love the idea of a man with tattoos? We do too --
all that lovely skin with just the right mark on the shoulder, or over
the heart. Maybe your hero is decorated all over, or maybe he's about to take
the plunge for the first time. Maybe he's the one who puts ink to skin, or
perhaps he loves the man who does.
That's the concept behind Ink, a new male/male anthology
from Torquere Press. We?re looking for sexy, romantic male/male stories
about men and ink, whether they have tattoos themselves, or love a man who
does.
Stories can be from any sub-genre, but they should be
fully realized with strong characters and a happy ever after, or at least
happy for now, endings. They should be between 5000 and 12000 words
long, and should be submitted in full and include a synopsis and author
biography in the cover
letter. Please put your name or pseudonym in the
manuscript as well as in your submission email.
Send submissions to submissions@torquerepress.com with
Ink in the subject line. Payment is a $50.00 flat fee for first time
electronic and print rights for three years, and a print copy of the book. No
reprints, please.
Deadline for submissions is September 1, 2012 for a
December 2012 Publication.
