UNPUBLISHED FICTION

MANUSCRIPTS WANTED

Reluctant Press is interested in paying authors for new original unpublished fiction to add to our list of exciting and erotic reading for cross dressers. We are looking for either collected short stories or full length novelettes (30,000 to 40,000 words). We are also looking for full length novels for our new Reluctant Gold books (50,000 words). Fiction published on electronic bulletin boards are not considered as 'unpublished'.

For selected manuscripts we will arrange basic copyright in AUTHOR'S NAME and issue a standard contract for publishing rights. We are offering $2/printed page in published form, or 25 cents per book sold.

All manuscripts must be submitted in: a) standard double spaced TYPED ORIGINAL format; or b) IBM DOS ASCII format (Word perfect, Word star, MS Word, DCA, XyWriter, and Multi-Mate are most preferred) on computer disc in either 5 1/4" or 3 1/2" size, or c) Apple Macintosh 3 1/2 inch disk either double density or high density in the following text formats (ASCII, DCA, RTF,)

At this point in time we have focused upon a matrix of plot themes in cross dressing aimed at three fantasy "age groups": Adult (Go-Go Dancer), Teen-Ager (Aunty), and Toddler (Captive Playmates). In our classification system we try to let the reader know which type of book he is getting: Young Adult (Toddler/Teenager), New Woman (TS), Her TV (CD is led to lifestyle by a woman), Adult TV (may involve love affair with a male), and Spectrum (Two or more classifications). On the back of each book we provide the gist of the plot(s).

The term "erotic" is used rather than "pornographic" because we prefer plots where human sexuality is an integral part of the plot, and not added as gratuitous sex to beef up a poor story.

It is our hope to expand the focus of cross dressing books from their central and certainly main plot theme into other fiction genre such as westerns, mysteries, Gothic, science fiction, fantasy, adventure and of course romance. Wilyi, is the first of these efforts. All manuscripts should be mailed to:

Reluctant Press, POB 11936, Lincolnia Station, Alexandria, VA. 22312.

Manuscripts without return self addressed and stamped envelopes will not be returned to author.
