General Information

Unless otherwise specified in the particular call, anthology submissions are subject to the following guidelines:

Submissions must be between 10,000 and 20,000 words. All submissions will be edited, but this is no excuse to send in a first draft. Stories should be as polished as possible before being submitted. Submissions must have either a core romantic plot or a reasonable amount of erotic content. Genre, pairing, and/or other restrictions may apply—read the anthology call closely before submitting!

All works submitted to Storm Moon Press must be unreleased works. We are only interested in acquiring exclusive first English language rights. This means if a work has been self-published, published by a subsidy press, on a website, journal, or other public forum, those rights have already been used and we cannot accept your submission.

Material that includes the following will be summarily rejected:

• Pedophilia (sex involving one or more persons under the age of 18)
• Necrophilia (sex with dead bodies—vampires, zombies, and the like don't count)
• Bestiality (sex with non-sentient animals or shifters in full animal form)
• Scat or golden showers (sex involving urine or feces play)
• Gratuitous violence (including splatterpunk, slasher, and torture-porn)
• Rape intended to arouse (though we will consider forced seduction or dubious consent if it is respectfully handled)
• Snuff (sex during which one or more persons are killed)

Royalties and Contracts

As of June 1, 2012, unless otherwise specified in the particular call, our standard royalty and contract terms are as follows:

Initial contract length will be for exclusive print and electronic rights for three years. One year after the release of the anthology, each author's submission will additionally be made available for purchase separately in electronic formats.

Authors will receive a single payment of $75-$150 for their story based on length (i.e., $0.0075 per word). Royalties on individual e-book releases will be 50% of cover price on direct sales through Storm Moon Press' e-store, and 40% of cover price minus distribution costs for sales through third party vendors. All royalties will be paid quarterly.

Contributors will also be given 2 print copies of the anthology, one PDF copy of the anthology, and one PDF copy of their single release short story.

We also accept heterosexual romances, QUILTBAG literary fiction, and QUILTBAG young adult fiction through our imprints.
