We at Paper Bag Press are looking for the highest-quality erotic short stories on the planet. Our official storefront, soon to be located at paper-bag-press.com, will debut in the 4th quarter of 2008. But first we need some stock to sell. That's where you come in.

We are seeking new or established authors for exclusive publication. We want writers who can craft a short story with a strong plot that revolves around sexual experience. The stories are not necessarily romantic — the sex is the focus. If the characters are in luuurv, that’s fine, as long as the sex is hot.

We know that you are taking a chance on us since we are new. Because of this, we are offering a 5% royalty bonus beyond our normal royalty rate of 30% for the first 25 stories that are accepted for publication.

All kinds of stories are being considered, including:

Heterosexual Homosexual Bisexual Groups BDSM Fetish Anal

Oral Vampire Fantasy Cowboy/Western Futuristic/Sci-Fi Historical Paranormal

If you have an erotic story that you'd like to us to consider for publication, go to the Submit Your Story page to tell us about it! We are seeking stories from 1,000 to 15,000 words. However, we are not draconian about the word count. These are just guidelines and not strict observance.

We are strict about what we will not accept:

• Pedophilia — all characters involved in sexual situations will be 18 years old or older.
• Bestiality — no humans having sex with animals.
• Rape — absolutely not allowed. All sex must be consensual.
• Toilet issues — must we go there? The answer is no.
• Physical abuse as titillation — again, the sex must be consensual. No characters harming each other within the sexual framework (no snuff, no stabbing, none of that). In BDSM, it must be made clear that the people involved have consented and are enjoying themselves.
• Necrophilia — again, must we go there? The answer is still no.
• Incest — once again, must we go there? The answer is absolutely, unequivocally no.

Other than that, we are an equal opportunity smut peddler.
