Cecilia Tan – Owner/Editor of Circlet Press
16th August 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
1 So, tell us a little bit about Circlet?
I started Circlet Press when I was still pretty much fresh out of college. I had been working at a respectable, venerable book publishing house for a couple of years at that point, but I'd always thought of myself as a writer and was trying to get published myself. The more time and energy I spent on other people's books, the further... -

1 So, tell us a little bit about Xcite...
Xcite was founded in 2007 by Hazel Cushion, Managing Director of Accent Press. She felt there was a shortage of quality erotic fiction that was empowering and positive for women whatever their sexual fantasies and kinks may be. The company originally started with short story collections but now also publish novels and some ‘How To’ books.2. How do you define 'erotica' as... -
Selena Kitt of eXcessica Publishing – the interview
8th June 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
1. So, first of all,what led you to set eXcessica up in the first place?
The truth? I wanted a market for my more explicit work. I knew it would sell well (and it does!) but the traditional epubs out there didn't take submissions with things like nonconsent and incest. So eXcessica was born. And it began to grow. And grow. And GROW!2What are eXcessica's aims?To publish work that pushes the... -
New Release: Too Good To Be True
17th May 2010 | 1 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
One of my favourite stories to write came out fairly recently - Too Good To Be True. I originally called it Fat, Frumpy and Forty, but strangely the publishing company didn't think that this was a saleable title! Anyway, Mandy - the narrator - thinks her love life, not to mention her sex life, is over for good when her husband leaves her—for an older woman. But that's before she has the...

Manifold Press – A Great New UK e-Publishing Group
6th May 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
1. What are your aims with Manifold?
We felt that the UK was under-represented in the e-publishing market and wanted among other things to provide a forum for British-based authors. We also wanted to emphasise plot and romance as opposed to graphic sexuality, which is already abundantly available in other publications.
2. What do you do that other people don't?
We are prepared to explore unusual or unconventional scenarios which may not be... -
Kay Kenyon – The Interview
26th April 2010 | 4 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
1. What made you decide to be a writer?
I put it off for as long a I could, but eventually I couldn't ignore the nagging feeling that writing novels would be lovely. I experienced a push-pull about writing. On the one hand, I had an urge to try my hand at something that I felt I (somehow) could do. On the other hand, from things I'd read, I had formed... -
Eternal Haunted Summer – A Pagan Ezine
20th April 2010 | 0 comments | 1 person likes this
1. What are your aims in Eternal Haunted Summer?
My aim with Eternal Haunted Summer is four-fold. 1) To provide a venue for authors to publish original Pagan-themed poetry and short fiction. 2) To provide a venue in which authors can have their Pagan-themed works reviewed. 3) To expose as wide an audience as possible to the talent and diversity of Pagan authors. And 4) To connect with other Pagan publishing... -
Cheyenne Blue – The Interview
29th March 2010 | 3 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
1. What made you decide to be a writer?It was one of those things that evolved rather organically, like much of mylife. Seldom have I ever sat down and thought, "Right. Now I'm going to be a writer/runner/bad but enthusiastic cook." They just happened. I fell into travel writing by a string of coincidences, and that rekindled the joy of creating something that has its own life on paper. I... -
I Do Two – The Charity Anthology Promoting GLBT Right To Marriage
1st March 2010 | 4 comments | 1 person likes this
1. So, the “I Do” anthologies in general – what's the idea behind them?
Alex:Well, it all goes back to the passing of Proposition 8 in California, which not only forbade same sex couples from marrying, it actually made many marriages which had taken place before the ruling invalid. I think that little extra twist of cruelty was the straw that broke the camel's back and provoked a massive outcry amongst... -
The new…
15th February 2010 | 2 comments | 1 person likes this
If there's one phrase that really annoys me, it's “such and such is the new X”. It's bad enough when people say something like “Red is the new black” - which, apart from anything else, is patently impossible. But it starts to really piss me off when the phrase is used about people.
I remember when Ryan Giggs had only been playing for a couple of years (and golly, that dates...
CONTRIBUTOR
Penelope Friday
I'm Penelope Friday. I write erotica and I also write articles on sexuality. When I'm not writing about sex, I'm writing about disability. Sometimes I write about them both. When I'm not writing articles about sex or disability, I might be writing about cooking with pre-school kids, or about the Regency period, or about environmental 'green' issues. When I'm not writing erotica, you might find me writing sci fi, teen stories, poetry or twitter fics. Quite a lot of the rest of the time, I'm blogging obsessively, and all-too-regularly on the subject of missing muses...
