When submitting a semiautobiographical erotic romance short story, you typically need to follow the submission guidelines of the platform or publisher you&39;re interested in. Here are some common steps:
1. Choose a platform or publisher: Select a platform or publisher that is suitable for autobiographical or adult fiction, such as literary magazines, adult fiction platforms, or online story sites that may be more open to this genre.
2. Read submission guidelines: Different platforms or publishers have different requirements. Make sure to understand their rules regarding word count, format, theme restrictions, and language style. Some platforms may have specific rules for adult content, so make sure your work complies with their standards.
3. Prepare submission materials: Generally, you will need to include:
The story: Prepare the full text of the story in the required word count and format.
A brief synopsis: A short summary of the content, background, and themes of your story.
Autobiographical note: If your work is autobiographical, briefly explain how your personal experiences or inspiration relate to the story.
Contact information: Include your name, contact details (email, phone, etc.), and any other required personal information.
4. Submit your work: Submit your work according to the platform&39;s or publisher&39;s submission method, whether by email, online submission system, or by post.
5. Wait for review: After submission, you’ll typically need to wait for a period of time while your work is reviewed. The review process may take several weeks or longer. If accepted, the editor will contact you.
6. Revisions and signing a contract: If the editor suggests revisions, make the necessary changes. Once finalized, you may proceed to the contract signing process.
If this is your first submission, it may be helpful to start with platforms or forums that are more flexible regarding literary works or adult fiction, and then, after gaining experience, approach larger publishers.
