Be aware. Melange publishes erotica, not porn. Know the difference. We do not accept any defaming and nauseating things such as incest, underage characters in illegal and immoral situations, or anything non-consensual or of a violently graphic nature.
Please include heat level: Sweet, Sensual, Hot, Scorching
Shorts are published in e-book format only-under 40,000 words, unless included within an anthology, which are available in print format.
Print works are 40,000 words and above.
Please send only first three chapters of a novel, novella or complete short story if under 15,000 words. Also send a short 25-50 word blurb and a short synopsis of your story or novel. If any manuscript does not adhere to these guidelines, we will not read it, but will reject. We love working with both new and established authors.
