Call for Stories for FANG BANGERS Anthology

Our next big horror/romance anthology is FANG BANGERS - erotic paranormal romance featuring any combination of coupling between humans and creatures with fangs and/or claws. Give us your werewolf lovers, your vampire paramours, your shape shifting scoundrels and rakes.

These stories can be hetero, M/M, F/F and any combination thereof. They can be two supernatural creatures, a human and a supernatural or even humans who think they're supernatural. It can be a couple, a threesome, an orgy. Just remember, it's got to be romantic.

We are open to historical, contemporaries and every futuristic.

So bring it on, in every fangtastic shape and size.

As in all in-house RR anthologies, we re looking for stories that run between 1500 and 5000 words. We pay the RR short story advance of $10, plus a pro rata share of any revenue/subsidiary rights. All stories are to be word docs, double spaced sent to lori@ravenousromanc e.com. Please include an up-to-date bio, even if you have published with RR before.

As you know, we sold the reprint rights to HUNGRY FOR YOUR LOVE: A Zombie Romance Anthology to St. Martin 's Press, and we are hoping to have similar success with this anthology, so give us your best stuff! And tell your friends.



Deadline is April 20, 2010.

Thanks Lori! I'm so glad you are doing this anthology, sounds fabulous!!

Rebecca Leigh said...

I'm thinkng of writing two. Would you consider more than one submission from the same author?

Ravenous Romance said...

Yes, but if we took both of them, we would want a pseudonym for one of them.

I think we're going to have a lot of submissions on this one, like we did with HUNGRY FOR YOUR LOVE, which received 110 stories and published 19.

Shelly said...

Lori, is there a timetable for this?

Ravenous Romance said...

The deadline is april 20th, 2010. It's at the bottom of the post.

Katrina said...

Obviously it's an erotic romance anthology, but are there any rules regarding heat level?

Ravenous Romance said...

Katiina:

All heat levels, mostly PG, R and X-rated.

Hi Lori,
I am interested in participating and I just want to know if an outline needs to be sent to you first or just the manuscript when completed?
Thanks!

Ravenous Romance said...

Vampire D.

No outline, just the story by the deadline.

Rebecca Leigh said...

I should have asked this before, but if we submit more than one story can we do so in the same query -- or would you prefer to receive the subsmissions separately?

Ravenous Romance said...

Submit each story individually.

Sascha Illyvich - The Dark Wolf Prince said...

You've got a submission, Miss Perkins.

Hey,

Not to be "that writer" but when can we expect to hear whether a story has been accepted or not? Or do we assume no response equals a rejection?

Ravenous Romance said...

We received 77 stories, so it will be at least a week until I can get through all of them (and next week is the Romantic Times convention). I will email everyone. I might buy some stories as stand alones, and/or buy them for future anthologies too.
