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.

NOVELLA SUBMISSIONS

Slick Friction accepts submissions for erotic romance novellas with word counts ranging between 15,000 and 50,000.

Novellas can published in electronic and/or print. There are situations where we may include 3-4 novellas in an anthology and these will usually be theme based.

Submissions for novellas 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_28,750

The subject line of the email should read:

Submission for title, author, word count

For example:

Submission for Snakes and Honey, Scarlet Madwin, 28,750

For novella submissions, please send the first 3000 words of your story as well as an in-depth synopsis of your novella as an attachment to your e-mail query. In the body of your e-mail please include a brief overview of the novella and a short (150 words or less) biography.

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 novella, we will contact you within 3 months of submission and ask you to submit your complete manuscript. If you have not heard from us within 90 days, you may assume we will not be using your 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 EROTIC NOVELLAS

If your novella is listed for sale in our online bookstore, you will receive 33% royalties which are paid quarterly. If your novella is made available as an electronic version from other retailers, your royalty rate will be 20%. If your novella is published in print format, you will receive 12% of the retail price. See our contract and payment page for complete details on this process.
