New submissions call from Ellora's Cave

This just down the pipeline from Ellora's Cave - New opportunities for non-EC authors!

From Raelene Gorlinski, Publisher - Ellora's Cave (Permission to post)

"We've got so many exciting things going on, people may have lost
track. So here's a summary of the special series and themes and new
lines for this year and next. Please note that all these are open to
not-yet-EC authors, so feel free to spread the word to your author
friends and to writing groups you belong to.

Fun in the Sun Quickie series – Releasing in June 2006, so if you
are participating in this, you should have the story turned in
already, right?

Autumn Animalia Quickie series – Releasing September 2006. Theme is
shapeshifters or a strong animal character in the story. Stories
must be to your editor for review/acceptance by end of June at the
latest, all editing done and final ms turned in by early August.

Wild Winter Quickie series. Releases December 2006. Theme is winter
holidays. Stories to your editor by end of September, editing
complete by early November.

New erotica line at EC (name tbd): We hope to launch in late 2006,
and are accepting submissions now. This will be a line of erotica,
not erotic romance. Basically the same sexuality level as E-rated EC
stories, the same taboos. But it doesn't have to be a "romance" –
doesn't need commitment or an HEA – although it certainly can have
romantic elements. The focus is on the sexual relationship instead
of the romantic one. Stories can be 10K to 100K.

New Traditional Regency line at Cerridwen (name tbd): Standard sweet
Traditional Regencies. Story length 50-75K. Historical accuracy is
very important. Only new stories, not reprints. Taking submissions
now. Particularly interested in authors previously published in this
genre. Planning to launch in late 2006.
NOTE: We already accept Regency-set Historicals at Cerridwen, and
erotic Regencies at EC.

2007 Tarot theme stories: Stories can be any EC length or genre.
Must specify a Tarot card that is the "theme" of the story. For
existing EC authors, submit to your editor a detailed full-story
synopsis and 8-10K words. Outside submissions must be full
manuscript.

2007 Ellora's Cavemen anthology series: Submissions close Sept. 30;
selections will be made by Dec. 31. Any genre, 10-12K, preferably E
rated, send to Martha@ellorascave.com."
