Lesbian Couples: Love and Passion
\nEditor: Radclyffe
\nPublisher: Cleis Press
\nDeadline: September 15, 2011 (Publication Date: Fall\/Winter 2012)
\nPayment: $50 and 2 contributor copies<\/p>\n
Theme: Romance and passion among long-term lesbian couples<\/p>\n
Banked fires burn hotter, and none flame as brightly as the passion that grows between women after the first flare of attraction subsides. We seek short fiction featuring lesbian couples who know how to keep the home fires alive with romance and passion. Surprise us with romantic, sexy tales of married-with-children pairs, golden anniversary celebrants, or modern adventurers who re-write the rules of partnering: date nights, spur of the moment getaways, trysts in the middle of the afternoon, surprises and secrets of keeping love and desire blazing after the wedding bells stop pealing. Erotic content and emotional\/romantic elements should be given equal weight<\/p>\n
Deadline for Submissions: September 15, 2011<\/p>\n
