These places recently put out a call for submissions. I wanted to kind of round them up from my resources and let you all know about them, and keep myself reminded as well. If you're a writer and you're looking to get your book out there, these are your people. I am in no way endorsing them, just sharing the information. If you know of others, feel free to post into the comments section. Here you go:

Fromt the site: "eXtasy Books is looking for new voices to add to their already busy stable! Like all publishers, we are always on the hunt for the next best-selling author. This could be you! Of course we realize that not every author can be a best-seller, and we don't promise mega sales, but we do promise to give writers with fantastic stories the chance to be read. We look for stories from mildly sensual to super hot. As long as your novel /novella has an intriguing storyline, and not just a string of sex scenes laced together by a thin plot, we will evaluate it for publication. We look at all genres. Novels/novellas can be from 16k and up. eXtasy Books pay standard royalty rate, 40% of listed price. 40% at third party sellers, except Fictionwise, it's 50%. Our contract is for ebook rights for 3 years from day of publication."
He Looks Like Trouble: Bad Boy Erotica
Editor: Shane Allison, Cleis Press in late 2012
Payment: $50 and 2 copies of the book on publication
Deadline: July 1, 2012 (earlier submissions encouraged and preferred)
"Bikers, tatted up punks, dirty cops and crime bosses. Do you love a bad boy as much as I do, men who live their lives everyday on the wild side? The type of boys you dream of riding up on their hogs, or in a muscle car to carry you away from the mundane? Shane Allison is in search of the best bad boy based erotica around, focusing on a range of techniques, implements, characters and scenarios, from new blood to seasoned scribes. The bad boy theme should be a central focus of the erotic element of the story but the plot does not have to hinge on it. Original, unique, creative characters, settings, scenarios and forms are encouraged. As befitting the title, I’m looking for the best, hottest, most creative erotica for this collection.
Original stories strongly preferred, but reprints of work will be considered but will be given lower priority than original work. All characters must be over 18; no incest or bestiality. Let your imagination run wild.
How to submit: Send double spaced Times or Times New Roman 12 point black font Word document with pages numbered (.doc, not .docx) OR RTF of 1,500-4,000 word story. Indent the first line of each paragraph half an inch and double space (regular double spacing, do not add extra lines between paragraphs or do any other irregular spacing). US grammar (double quotation marks around dialogue, etc.) required. Include your legal name (and pseudonym if applicable), mailing address, and 50 word or less bio in the third person to helooksliketroubleantho@gmail.com.
If you are using a pseudonym, please provide your real name and pseudonym and make it clear which one you’d like to be credited as. You will receive a confirmation within 72 hours. I will get back to you by August 2012. Be sure to include contact and bio information on the FIRST page of your story."
Big Man on Campus: Gay Erotic FictionShane Allison, Cleis Press
Payment: $50 and 2 copies of the book on publication
Deadline: June 1, 2012 (earlier submissions encouraged and preferred)
Hot on the heels of the Gaybie award-winning College Boys, Shane Allison goes back to school with Big Man on Campus in search of the best college based erotica around, focusing on a range of techniques, implements, characters and scenarios, from new blood to seasoned scribes. The collegiate theme should be a central focus of the erotic element of the story but the plot does not have to hinge on students, frat boys or professors. Think of late night study sessions in the library, a horny professor fantasizing of that beefy jock that sits teasing him from the back of the class, randy foreign exchange students and of course an anthology of this theme would not be complete without a college jock being thrown in. Original, unique, creative characters, settings, scenarios and forms are encouraged. As befitting the title, I’m looking for the best, hottest, most creative erotica for this collection. Original stories strongly preferred, but reprints of work will be considered but will be given lower priority than original work. All characters must be over 18; no incest or bestiality. Please see College Boys: Gay Erotic Stories and Frat Boys: Gay Eroitc Stories to get an idea of the kinds of stories I dig.
SEE ABOVE ENTRY FOR DIRECTIONS AND GUIDELINES, then send to collegeboysantho@gmail.com.
