Hello, Brian.
The micro press I work for {Pen and Kink Publishing} is
open to submissions for a hockey romance anthology. Can you please include it on
Quick Brown Fox.
The submission page can be found here.
Here are the details:
Power Play is all about the action and competition of
hockey combined with the drama and emotion of romance.
I’m looking for consensual power exchange romance stories that
revolve around the rink. Stories like the superstar who sobers up one day to
find himself stuck coaching a peewee team and falling for the dominating mother
of one of his players. The trainer with creative uses for sports bandages who
is looking for her perfect match. The coaches of two rival teams who discover
the spark of their competition continues even outside the arena. The goalie who
loves being tied to her net and finds her no-strings arrangement with the
opposing team’s forward growing into something more... I want all these and
more.
You needn’t be a hockey expert to write for this anthology but do
keep in mind that women play hockey too, ice is cold and skate blades are
sharp.
Open to stories at every heat level, and any sort of pairing (or
more-ing) that you can imagine. Stories must have a real conflict and tension
with a happy ever after or happy for now ending.
All hockey teams and players must be fictional – please don’t use
any real teams or players in your stories.
The details:
• Minimum word count 2,500. No maximum.
• Reprints accepted but not preferred. When submitting a reprint
include information about its original publication in your submission email.
• Open to all gender pairings and multiple partners
• Simultaneous submissions = No
• Multiple submissions = Okay
• Some sort of consensual kink is required. Preferably one
involving a power differential.
Pays $20 USD and a paperback copy of the
anthology in exchange for the non-exclusive right to include the story in both
the print and electronic versions of the anthology.
Open submission period: Until
October 1, 2019
Expected publication date: April
2020
To submit: Please submit a
.doc or .rtf in something approximating standard manuscript format to corividae@gmail.com
