Contest! Colorado authors--fun times await!

Erotic Short Story Contest--Win a Publishing Contract!

Have you always wanted to be published? Maybe you write erotica to entice your lover, or simply to entertain yourself. Your writing group said you were good. If so, now is the time to submit it.

Hysteria (www.hysteriashop.com), Denver's upscale, female-friendly sex shop is pairing up with the newest online bookshop for erotic short stories, Paper Bag Press (www.paper-bag-press.com). We both love great erotica, and we love sex toys. We also love supporting local business.  To celebrate this fertile, creative time of year, we are hosting a contest for all potential authors in Colorado! This is how you enter:
 
Write your hottest, sexiest erotic short story, mentioning your favorite sex shop, Hysteria. Go over it with a fine-toothed comb: edit, edit, and edit some more. When it's perfect, send it as an email attachment to:

amy@paper-bag-press.com 

with the subject line:  Hysteria Erotic Short Story Contest.  Make sure your story is in .doc or .rtf format, and includes your name, email address, and phone number. Stories should be 2,000 to 10,000 words. We are looking for highly explicit stories that pay particular attention to the woman's pleasure and orgasm, and remember to feature the shop in some way.

All entries submittied by June 5, 2009 that meet the criteria will be considered for the contest. Elizabeth and Pete from Hysteria and Amy from Paper Bag Press will judge the stories.

Grand Prize:  A publishing contract with Paper Bag Press! Prestige! Glamour! Royalty checks!

Runner-Up Prizes: Gifts from Hysteria! Also, the runners-up will have their stories featured on the Hysteria website!

The stories will be read and judged in June, and in July all are welcome to join us at Hysteria to enjoy a public reading of the top 5 stories in the contest. Cocktails, snacks, erotic short stories, all in the elegant surroundings of the finest sex shop in Colorado? You bet!

So get those typing skillz rolling, tell your writer friends, and submit! Submit we say!
