My apologies if there's somewhere else I should be posting this (if so, please let me know and I can take this down and post there), but I wanted to share links to two calls for submissions for erotica anthologies I'm editing for Cleis Press. If you have any questions after reading the full call, email the address associated with the call and I'll reply ASAP. I know they're long and may not be a good fit for writers who don't like long calls, but my intention is to cover the most commonly asked questions I receive to save authors' time and my own, and provide guidance regarding the types of stories most likely to be accepted. My goal with both books is to primarily publish authors I've never worked with before.
