Previously I worked as an editor for two exciting small presses which recently combined their talents. I wish I had time to still work with them as they are wonderful publishers. Unfortunately, my time constraints caused me to cut back my work load and this is one position I cut. I still strongly urge you if you write the type of material Damnation or Eternal Press seeks, send them your best.
Damnation Books is geared toward dark, edgy fiction and can be found at http://www.damnationbooks.com/
They specialize in dark writing: horror, dark fantasy,
thrillers, science fiction and erotica (in dark settings).
Word lengths:
- Short stories 5,000 to 10,000 words

Heat levels...
- Sweet -1 flame (anything from no romance to sex behind closed doors)
- Mild -2 flames (can contain several lovemaking scenes, but without graphic language)
- Highly Sensual - 3 flames (can include hot, frequent love scenes, standard for mainstream romance)
- Erotic Romance - 4 flames (includes clinical/graphic terms for body parts and intercourse. Must contain a romantic theme. It may include light BDSM, GBLT, ménage and anal sex as long as its frequency does not outweigh vanilla sex.)
- Erotica-5 flames (highly explicit/graphic/frequent may include heavier use of BDSM, ménage and anal. Not entirely dependent on romance.)
