NineStar Press is seeking submissions for a new romance-themed call.
Stranded on an uninhabited island, wandering in the desert, sucked into a wormhole to an unknown land, sent spiraling back to a distant era in a time machine. It takes strength, fortitude, and intelligence to find your way home. But can those strengths help when love is thrown in the mix?
Submission deadline is April 30, 2018
Length: From 30K to 120k words.
Heat: Sweet (no sex or “fade-to-black”) through to fully erotic—super hot; scorching.
Content: The story must have an LGBTQIA+ romantic pairing. Both HEA and HFN are acceptable. “Gay For You” (GFY) stories will not be considered.
Genre: Can be any genre as long as it fits the LOST theme.
Standalone stories or part of a series are considered.
