SUBMISSION INFORMATION
 This
information is the basic guideline for submission to
Slick Friction Press.
For detailed information pertaining to specific categories
of fiction, please use the menu on the left.
Once again, all Slick Friction
fiction should feature strong, adult female
main characters. We are otherwise open to any variation of
gender identity or sexuality.
And, we cannot stress this enough: we are not interested in publishing
pornography or highly offensive material, such as
pedophilia, bestiality or sexual assault. Any submissions
containing any of the aforementioned material will be
dismissed immediately and the author of said material
will be banned from submitting to Slick Friction for life.
Slick Friction Press
publishes short stories (1500-7500 words), novelettes
(7500-15,000 words), novellas (15,000-50,000 words) and
novels (50,000-120,000 words).
We also occasionally host flash fiction contests for erotic
stories less than 750 words (and are particularly interested
in full-bodied flash erotica) and fiction briefs (750-1500
words).
Flash fiction, short stories and novelette length material
will only be published in electronic format. Novella and
novel length works may be published in print as well as
electronic format.
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_22,548
The subject line of the email should read:
Submission for title, author, word count
For example:
Submission for Snakes and Honey, Scarlet Madwin, 22,548
Please only send us the first 3 chapters or the first 5,000
words (whichever comes first) as an attachment to your
e-mail. In the body of your e-mail please include a detailed
synopsis of each chapter (or scene) 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.
Submissions that fail to meet these exact requirements will
be discarded without being read. The editors at
Slick Friction are
extremely busy and do not have time to deal with those not
professional enough to follow these guidelines. If you are
serious and want your submission read, please follow these
instructions closely.
In addition, we don't always have time to respond personally
to each submission -- we do when we can, but don't expect a
response. If we are interested in publishing your
submission, we will contact you within 3 to 6 months of
submission. 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.
Slick Friction is
looking for original material only and primarily first
publication -- if you have a self-published submission, we
may be interested in re-publishing your work, but only if
you have still hold full publication rights and copyright.
Otherwise, please do not send previously published material
(previous publication includes web material as well as hard
copy).
We will also consider out-of-print books if you hold
exclusive rights to the material. |
