We favor a strong, singular narrative voice (no “head hopping” or swapping between different character’s points of view within a scene). Romantic content is welcome, but in a short story remember to keep the details on the action and its effects on the main character’s internal point of view.

One story per author per anthology.Īll stories must include explicit sexuality and erotic focus. No simultaneous submissions (that is, don’t also send your story elsewhere at the same time, and don’t send it to multiple Circlet editors, either), and no multiple submissions to the same book.

We’d like erotic stories inspired by BatB, and we’re not picky about gender/sexuality/number of protagonists. And it’s about the transcendence of self that can come from an act of love. It’s about the terrifying transformations that can occur when you are drawn inexorably to another. It’s about the confluence of fear and desire. Call for Submissions: A Beastly Affair (Beauty and the Beast Anthology)īeauty and the Beast might be the most erotic of all fairy tales.
