Stormy Night Publications Publishers of BDSM and Kink Erotica
General Guidelines
We are always happy to receive manuscript submissions from both new and veteran authors. Currently, we are only interested in romance and erotica titles with substantial spanking and/or BDSM content.
Length Guidelines
In most cases we will only accept manuscripts with lengths between 20,000 and 80,000 words. We do not currently accept short stories or story collections in most cases. Exceptions to both of the guidelines above may be made for authors who have previously published with Stormy Night or who have an established history of solid sales in this genre.
Content Guidelines
This section is intended as a general reference and is not intended to be comprehensive. We reserve the right to make decisions as to what content we will and will not accept in our books on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of our content editors.
– We do not accept books which contain graphic depictions of brutality or torture. Violence is acceptable in battles or other action scenes as long as it is relevant to the plot and not excessive.
– We do not accept books which contain depictions of rape. Attempted rape on the part of antagonist characters is acceptable provided that the scene is relevant to the plot, the depiction is not overly graphic or excessively violent, and that the antagonist is stopped before completing the act. The fact that a character has been a victim of rape can form an element of their backstory, as long as the rape is not described in any significant detail.
– We do not accept books which contain depictions of spankings, canings, whippings, etc. which break the skin, draw blood, or leave permanent scars. The fact that a character has been a victim of any of the above can be an element of their backstory, as long as the event is not described in any significant detail.
– We do not accept books which appear intended to malign or offend any particular group of people (race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, etc.).
– We do not accept books which contain depictions of any form of sexual activity whatsoever involving individuals who are under the age of eighteen.
– We do not accept books which contain depictions of spanking or any other form of corporal punishment applied to individuals who are under the age of eighteen. The fact that a character was spanked or received other common forms of corporal punishment as a child can be an element of their backstory, as long as the event is not described in any significant detail.
