I'm about to submit a short story - m/m with some BDSM - and I have several options for publishers interested in the 12K length. Samhain, for example, sells both BDSM and m/m, but it doesn't seem possible to search for that combination. I could pick either category and browse for the other. That means looking through quite a few books that won't be of interest. In contrast, Torquere focuses on LGBT books, so someone looking for BDSM need only click on that category to find m/m BDSM. Ease of finding my story is not the only criteria, but it seemed worth considering. What do you think?
I also like the idea of working with a LGBT-oriented publisher, but my other WIPs will be too kinky for Torquere. I'm already looking at other publishers. Right now, I don't see much of a writing career in my future, so cultivating a relationship with a particular publisher isn't an important concern.
