Hello, I am new. My name is Sarah.
I have a short story I'm having a heck of a time finding the right market for. It is 3000 words, sort of a romance, but it's not romantic, though it has a few flashbacks about the former romance of a married couple, it does mention the great sex they had, but doesn't contain any actual sex scenes, it is more about deceit in a long marriage, revealed in increments, but I don't think it would be suited for a romance magazine for it has a wicked and violent twist for an ending, very macabre. But I don't think it would be suited for a mystery magazine either, because of the long stretch of talk about the marriage, plus,the fact that the wife has a lesbian affair, poses for a porn magazine, which both are spoken about but not described, and the wife has turned into an alcoholic. I have never written erotica, but I suspect this might be considered soft erotica.
Does a good paying market, either web or print, come to mind ? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. The story is called, "Twenty Years in a Shoebox."
