Deep Desires Press is a publisher of erotica and high-heat-level erotic romance. Our main goal is to excite the reader, to take their imagination into the most erotic of scenarios. We are currently seeking submissions in the categories listed below.

Authors will receive full editing, cover art, and marketing support from Deep Desires Press. Submissions are expected to be well-written, well-edited, and reasonably error-free.

First, a few general details: 

Genres: We are seeking all genres and subgenres of erotica and erotic romance. This includes contemporary, paranormal, LGBTQ+, BDSM, historical, sci-fi, fantasy, etc.

Pairings: We are seeking stories featuring any pairing—MF, MM, FF, group/ménage/multiple partner, and we are inclusive of trans characters.

Wish List: While we are open to any and all submissions that meet the criteria of this Call For Submissions, we are particularly keen on submissions in the MM erotic romance category, 40,000 words and up.

Banned Content: We will not accept submissions containing underage characters in sexual situations, bestiality, necrophilia, yellow play, brown play, incest, pseudo-incest, non-con, dub-con, or rel-con.

Social Media and Self-Promotion: We work actively and collaboratively with authors on setting up a platform and developing a promotional plan, but we do prefer if authors already have at least two mediums for self-promotion, such as Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, newsletter, Pinterest, blog, website, etc. When submitting, please include relevant links in your query letter. In the case of a newsletter, please include the current number of subscribers.
