Submission Calls from Breathless Press


New Submission Calls from Breathless Press
Submission calls can be found on Breathless Press Blog or on ourwebsite
**Pirate themed Submission Calls**

Ahoy me hearties! 

If I may take a shot o’ rum of your time. I’m a loyal deckhand on the editin’ crew, and I walk the plank on a daily basis with our esteemed and mutual matey, Cap’n Breathless Press. I read yer bottled books that float my way, and I plunder ‘em with my editin’ pen upon acceptance of yer work.

What would be pleasin’ to me eye, you query? Well, I might fancy seein’ some pirate tales! Plunder that booty! Passion on the plank! But, I don’t desire just any jolly roger tale. What would really float my ship is a pirate lass! A hefty chest not required, but some scurvy dog a diggin’ up her buried treasure would be mighty fine.

So hoist up them buried manuscripts in bottles and fling it over the sea my way, acquisitions@breathlesspress.com and ask for T.S. Chevrestt, content editor/deckhand with Breathless Press.

Naughty Nursery Rhymes Submission Calls

“Jack be nimble, Jack be quick”
“Jack whipped out his candle stick!”
Oh my, naughty Jack… whipping that beanstalk out in public! Shame! Bet I got your attention though? And let’s not forget how Jill reacted to the sight of it…
“Jack and Jill went up the hill to have a little fun
Stupid Jill forgot her pill and now they have a son.”
Oh come on, do you really think that Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet? Or did she sit on something else? And possibly like it???
And what made Bo Peep peep? Something big? Did she peep from pleasure?
 
 think we can all assume that Red Riding Hood wasn’t all innocent with that wolf on the way to Grandma’s house either.
 
Introducing Naughty Nursery Rhymes.
Take those old nursery rhymes and make them something sensual, dirty, naughty, and get those pens scribbling (or fingers flying on the keyboards.)
If you can transform a nursery rhyme into something naughty, send it our way: acquisitions@breathlesspress.com. Stories need to be at least 10k. Be sure to put: Naughty Nursery Rhyme in the subject header.
