A Short Story Opportunity
If you’re writing erotic short stories - by that I mean 5,000 to 15,000 words (so, less than the usual novella length), Harlequin’s new eBook program called Spice Briefs might be your answer. You probably know that Spice is Harlequin’s erotic romance imprint. It’s not hard to figure out that “Spice Brief” then means short erotic stories.
Here’s what I know (in case you’re too lazy to click on the link I have here): All genres, all POVs, and most sexual subjects are welcome. You submit your full manuscripts electronically to Editor Susan Pezzack Swinwood at spicebriefs@harlequin.ca.
I have only read two Spice books and have yet to fall in love with the imprint. But, I’d be willing to give it another shot and try new authors under this plan… unless the price of these offerings is ridiculous, which I can’t imagine is the case.
If this is what you write, give it a shot.

FWIW, I saw somewhere (on the eHq community, I think) that the prices on Spice Briefs will be $2.95 and $3.95.

I have never heard of these but I will have to track them down. If only $2.95, it will be worth a try

LOL, suddenly I’m seeing sales stickers everywhere. Spice Briefs! Spice Briefs! 1 for $2.99, 3 in a pack, 5.99!!
Coming Soon! Spice Boxers and Boxer-Briefs! For the randy pugilist in your life…
Just kidding! I write erotic romance under a pseudonym and will probably give Spice Briefs a try at some point (like when I finish other, requested projects). And, really, it’s HelenKay’s fault that I’m thinking underwear, If she hadn’t said, “*short* story opportunity,”I wouldn’t have leapt to men’s briefs!
