For The Girls

Please tell editors/publishers you read their guidelines on the
Erotica Readers & Writers Association Website

WHO WE ARE

For the Girls is a membership-based adult site and ezine for heterosexual women. As well as explicit pictorial and movie content, we also offer a full women’s magazine, focusing on sex, women’s health and humor.

For The Girls is currently seeking written contributions from skilled writers.

WICKED WAYS
This is a weekly column in the format of an "erotic letters" section. We are looking for short, erotic pieces describing a sexual fantasy or encounter. The column seeks to share female fantasies and experiences in a positive way that also turns us and you - on. The main aim is arousal, however this does not mean we want clichd porn.

Pieces should be 500-1000 words maximum. They must be well written and feature a female perspective. Submissions must be written in the first person with a conversational tone. Pieces that read too much like erotic fiction will not be considered for this column.

As this is a weekly column we are always in need of submissions!

EROTIC FICTION
We are looking for high quality erotic fiction to feature at least twice a month. Stories can cover any topic, however it must be erotic in nature, relatively explicit, sex positive and be written expressly for female readers.

Were looking for stories that are more than just a sex scene. We want to see stories with interesting scenarios and fascinating characters; stories that explore the issues and emotions surrounding sex. Remember that dialogue and buildup can be just as erotic as the actual sex.

We currently have a backlog of fiction submissions. If you have submitted a story for consideration at FTG, please feel free to submit it elsewhere in the meantime. If it is accepted elsewhere, please send a quick email to let us know and we'll remove it from our waiting list.

Stories should be a maximum of 3000 words in length.

FLASH FICTION
We are looking for high quality super-short (flash) fiction to feature twice a month. Ideally we want succinct, erotic pieces that successfully get an idea across in a small number of words. Cleverness is encouraged, as is out-and-out dirty hotness. The piece should, of course, be aimed at a female audience.

Flash fiction stories should be a minimum of 300 and a maximum of 500 words in length.

NON FICTION FEATURE ARTICLES - PROPOSALS
For The Girls publishes articles on all aspects of sex, porn and womens health. We are currently looking to publish feature articles by freelance contributors on a bi-monthly basis. Our feature articles are authoritative and fact based. The aim is to inform as well as entertain. Features need to be well written and easy to read, with a clear narrative flow. Quotes from experts or interview subjects are encouraged. We are NOT looking for opinion pieces, columns or first-person accounts by the author.

At this stage, proposals only will be accepted. Do not send entire articles as they will not be read.

Proposals should be no more than 300 words in length and describe the outline for the feature. You should list some of your publishing credits, past writing history or qualifications, if any. Please also provide an example of (or a link to) a feature that you have previously written.

PAYMENT
US$25 per Wicked Ways piece
US$30 per Erotic Fiction piece
US$15 per Flash Fiction piece
US$100 per Feature article

Payment will be made electronically, so you must have an appropriate account with ePassporte or similar online payment system. If you cannot be paid this way, we cannot publish your work.

We prefer .doc or .txt attachments with no html formatting, but will also accept submissions in the body of the email. *Do not send rich text format (rtf) or Word 2007 (docx) documents.* If we can’t read your submission, it will go in the trash.

Subject heading should be 'For The Girls Writing Submission'. Writers should state the column to which they are submitting and must include the author declaration (see below) in the body of the submission email.
