Delighted to announce we've launched the Call for Submissions for our next book awfully hilarious pillow talk.

And I'm SO EXCITED to invite you to submit your best, funniest, true story for this next upcoming awfully hilarious anthology. This will be the third book in our best-selling, award-winning awfully hilarious series that aims to smash stigma through truth-telling.

And get ready for it....this next collection aims to share untold, true, funny stories of pleasure, intimacy, sex, sexuality and thus smash the stigma around this still-too-taboo topic.

As with our other collections, we’re especially seeking stories on subjects and from a diversity of voices and experiences that have previously been underrepresented.

Word count: up to 2000 words for short stories, and we’ll also entertain poetry, songs and illustrations.

Email your true, hilarious submissions, along with a great, high-resolution headshot of your face, and a snappy 50 word bio to: hello@awfullyhilarious.com

Deadline: April 15, 2025.

Please feel free to submit, and it would also mean so much to us if you’d be able to help spread the word!

Walking by the lake today, I couldn't help peeking at the covers of all the books people had chosen to bring with them in their picnic baskets.
What do you bring with you to read by the water?
I've got The Vacationers by Emma Stroud in my beach bag at the moment - highly recommend!
Or hey - try awfully hilarious ;)
