Paying market, Best Gay Romance 2012 (Cleis Press), payment: $50-$75 per story

Deadline: 31 May 2011

Editor: Richard Labonte

For the s3nsual anthology series BEST GAY ROMANCE, I'm looking for short stories, novel excerpts or memoirs (maximum 6,500 words) that are as sweet as they are st3amy, both emotive and er0tic: stories about two men (or, who knows, more) falling in love, being in love, having loved. The wooing and the winning, the blush of a crush, the details of a date, the rush of romance... the er0tic is welcome, but the emphasis ought to be on romance.

Original stories, or reprints if published between May 2010 and May 2011. Payment $50 to $75 plus two contributor copies. Multiple submissions are okay in .doc or .rtf; include real name/ address/ 50-word bio, to bgrcleis2012@gmail.com.
