Edited by Genevieve Ash and Essemoh Teepee
Published by eSensual Books
Deadline for submissions: October 1 2016
Payment: $50.00 USD and a link copy of the anthology
This special call for submissions is a little different, it is for audio stories ONLY.
We want you to write your hottest stories focusing on Dirty Talk and record them in your own voice. The setting, the players, and the details are your own, but think a late night call to a long distance lover, a special series of sexts during a long work day, the urgent cry of need that cannot be denied or verbal foreplay as you lie alongside your lover, whispering into their increasingly excited ears.
These stories are to be written in the SECOND person POV, to encourage listeners to visualize the story as they go. You are constantly told by editors and writing gurus to ‘show not tell’, but in this case we want YOU to TELL the listener what THEY are experiencing, put them into the story: “Feel the heat of my body as I slide up closer to you,” or ”Listen to the way the rain falls gently on the tin roof.” Think of it as a special interaction with the listener to create immediate intimacy.
Based on the popular and unique style of Directed Erotic Visualisation© experiences, these stories will transport the listener to the very heart of your story, drawing them in to the scene and experience you are writing.
The Particulars: Stories should be between 2500 and 3500 words for approximately 20 -30 minutes of completed audio. Mailbigfile.com is great for sending larger files through email. All submissions must be in mp3 format. We suggest you produce your recording using Audacity free software and send the Audacity Data files and .aup files as well as the mp3, for editing purposes. If you are not familiar with audio editing it is not a problem, but do try for the cleanest recording possible with an absolute minimum of background sounds, echo etc. We have helpful recording tips on our website:
