Coming Together is a registered "voluntary nonprofit association" seeking submissions of erotic fiction, poetry, and art from established professionals as well as amateur/up-and-coming authors, poets, and artists.

ALL
print & ebook royalties (author/poet, editor, and artist) are donated to charity.*

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

  • Fresh, original fiction, poetry, and artwork.
  • All pairings & relationship dynamics are welcome, from traditional erotic romance to down-and-dirty stroke. If it contains a positive portrayal of an illegal activity, however, Coming Together is not interested.
  • A "happily ever after" ending is not required. Coming Together wants erotic, not formulaic, material.
  • Explicit sex is not required. Eroticism is about far more than Tab A into Slot B.
  • Additional restrictions may exist based upon the various publishers' guidelines.
  • PLEASE, no simultaneous submissions!
  • Reprints are welcome, provided that the submitter holds the rights. Exclusivity is not required.**

THE NITTY GRITTY:
Due to the rapidly growing volume of submissions, those following the guidelines below are FAR more likely to be accepted.

  • Proof all work PRIOR to submission. That means it's not only spell checked, but properly punctuated and thoroughly scanned for homophonic errors (there/their, your/you're, etc.)
  • Attach an RTF document (or, for artwork, a JPG) & email to submissions [at] eroticanthology.com or to the address provided on the volume's individual page
  • 1" margins all around, no headers or footers
  • 12pt Times New Roman font, double spaced
  • Indent paragraphs, and do not include an extra line between paragraphs
  • At the top of the file, include your pen name, your legal name and mailing address, word count, and website/blog URLs (if available). Optionally, include a BRIEF (150-word) bio.
* Contributors receive a complimentary copy of print and ebook titles.
** A sample of Coming Together's publication agreement can be found HERE.
