FORBIDDEN LOVE
Something so wrong never felt so right. We're looking for taboo stories that defy the accepted rules of society and romance. Step-brother in love with his new step-sister? Step-son can't keep his eyes (or his hands) off his step-father? We want to read it. Please send your 5,000-60,000 word submissions to submissions@torquerepress.com with "Forbidden Love" and your story title in the subject field. Please see our writer's guidelines page for royalty rates, formatting, and submission information.
TWISTED TALES OF HORROR
Romance can temper even the most horrifying tales, those that leave your stomach clenching with terror, and your mouth bitter with the metallic taste of fear. We're looking for true horror stories, those that rise above the usual tropes of vampires, ghosts, and shifters, the ones that leave our knees knocking in fear of what lurks in the dark, but still manage to show an element of GLBT romance. Send us your most gripping psychological thrillers, your utterly horrific monster tales, and electrifying gothic horrors from 10K to 100K!
Please send your 10,000-60,000 word submissions to submissions@torquerepress.
