Breathless Press is looking for Submissions

HomeBreathless Press is pleased to announce the following calls are open and seeking submissions. For formatting guidelines, please visit our webpage. If you are ever worried whether or not your manuscript will fit our needs, please send it along regardless. We are very open minded and all we ask is that your story (except for our non-fiction based Reflections line) have romance or romantic elements. And don't worry YA authors, we have a special call/announcement for you too!



Anthologies:  The following anthologies are open and actively seeking submissions. Even though they have a deadline, please submit your work as soon as possible due to the fact that spots are limited and tend to fill quickly.

{Just Opened!} Ad-Dick-tion Anthology: Stories must be under 10k, have a heat rating of at least 3, be m/m (gay) orientated (m/m/f is fine as long as the two males have sex or a relationship together and not just with the female) and be original stories. There is no other theme besides being m/m. The anthology will consist of 10 stories each with a royalty of 4% of net sales. No single author shall have more than 2 stories in this anthology.
Deadline: October 31st, 2012.

{Almost Full!} Crimson Anthology: Stories must be under 10k, have a heat rating of at least 3, and be original stories. There is no other theme besides having something to do with vampires. The anthology will consist of 10 stories each with a royalty of 4% of net sales. No single author shall have more than 2 stories in this anthology.
Deadline: Jul 31th, 2012.

{M/F Only Still Looking!} Serviced Anthology: Stories must be under 10k, have a heat rating of at least 3, and be original stories. There is no other theme besides having something to do with the army, military, navy, or air force as well as being romantic/erotic in nature. We will be doing two a year, one with a focus on m/m stories, the other on m/f stories. The anthology will consist of 10 stories each with a royalty of 4% of net sales. No single author shall have more than 2 stories in this anthology.
M/F Deadline: Aug 31st, 2012.

Blessings Line: Our Christian fiction line is seeking romance that is based on higher inspiration. Though we will accept sex, our Blessings line often accepts stories that are less sex, more emotional romance. The line is relatively new and actively seeking manuscripts.

Reflections Line: This non-fiction line is the only one exempt from having to revolve around romance. We are currently interested and seeking the following:
* Rising above abuse
* How you made the choice to live an alternate lifestyle (BDSM, GBLT, polygamy, etc is highly sought after at this time)
* How a "handicap" or "disability" entered your life or affects your life
* Culture clash stories (Perhaps a comical recounting of how moving to a new area brought about quite a few new experiences or overcoming the older generations expectancy to achieve a lifestyle you desire)

Special Call: Sometimes we have special calls for submissions that aren't quite anthologies, and therefore need to be larger than 10k. They will be released during a specific month according to the theme.

{Only 4 slots left!} Hot Shifters: Our Hot Shifters are published for October. We will be releasing 8 stories in October all revolving around the shifters. This can be wolf, lion, panther, etc. Stories must be more than 10k with a heat rating of 2 or more.
Deadline: June 30th *Due to an increased need for Shifter stories, we have extended the deadline. Please ignore the deadline on the website as June 30th is the most accurate deadline.
