Call for submissions: Nobilis Erotica podcast

Submission Guidelines for Nobilis Erotica - via Nobilis Erotica. I can say that this podcast is professional, sexy and a wonderful treat. I was so honored to have my story "The Depths of Despair" from Spanked: Red-Cheeked Erotica read by Danielle A. Nelson, and this is an opportunity to share your work in a way that may be new to most writers. Plus hearing your work read aloud by a professional is a very exciting experience (well, it was for me). You realize that the words take on a life of their own and that someone else may interpret certain details in a way you hadn't necessarily. I admit that I don't practice what I preach - I do proof my stories before sending them out, but I don't do a big ole' dramatic reading, which means sometimes at In The Flesh I'm caught off guard.

Before you start: Pay attention to the two calls for submission. Everyone is invited to submit to Nobilis Erotica, but not all submissions will be handled the same.

"Roses and Chocolate" is open to male authors only. "Steak and Beer" is open to female authors only. If your personal gender definition doesn't fit neatly into one classification or the other, then pick whichever one is closest and go with it. Submissions to "Roses and Chocolate" will be evaluated from the point of view of a female audience, and "Steak and Beer" submissions from the point of view of a male audience. All stories must be science fiction, paranormal, or fantasy, and must be between 2,000 and 4,000 words. If your story does not take these requirements into account, no matter how good it is, it will not be considered.

We are open to using stories which have been published elsewhere, including excerpts. You must, however, be certain that you are in a position to grant us audio rights to your story. Check your contracts carefully before submitting.

Content: We are not interested in publishing material that depicts sexual situations where consent is not given (rape or strong coercion) and where adult, informed consent cannot be given (such as necrophilia, incest, or bestiality).
