CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Opposites Attract (LGBTQ romance)

Deadline: January 31, 2018
Payment: 50% net royalties from all channels, to be paid quarterly
Contract: 2 years exclusive, auto-renews

NOTE: This isn’t an anthology; the stories will be released as individual ebooks with unique covers.

We are looking for queer romance and erotic romance stories featuring two (or more!) characters who are complete opposites, but who fall in love anyway. Think people from different walks of life, different careers, even different colleges or opposing sports teams. Whatever it is that opens a gulf between them ultimately turns out to be what attracts them to each other.

Maybe a city slicker swaps his business suits for jeans and flannel when he meets the man of his dreams in the country. Or neighbors with different tastes in music connect even though each thinks the other listens to garbage. Or Mr. Type A falls for a laid back, relaxed coworker who shows him there’s more to life than getting ahead. Or a buff jock falls for a nerdy Poindexter. Or a straight-and-narrow policewoman collars a serial burglar who steals her heart.

The story can contain any LGBTQ pairing in any subgenre, but the main characters must be involved in a romance (sweet or erotic) and they must be opposites in some way who are attracted to each other despite their differences.

  • Stories must be between 12,000 words or longer
