So, it's official. I will be featured in the 2007 edition of Best Lesbian Erotica.
Here is the e-mail I recieved from Tristan Taormino:
Dear BLE 07 Finalists,
I am pleased to tell you that you've made the final final cut, and we'd be
honored to include your story in BEST LESBIAN EROTICA 2007. There were some
tough decisions for guest judge Emma Donoghue and I, but we are psyched
about your story being a part of the book.
Here are some things you need to know:
EDITING: The entire manuscript now goes to a copyeditor at Cleis Press, and
I should get it back later this month.
--If there are only minor changes to your piece (usually grammar, tense,
spelling, syntax), I won't contact you UNLESS you tell me NOW that you
Would like to see and approve all changes, however minor. In that case, I
will forward you your edited story.
---If it comes back and your story requires more than minor changes, then I
will be in touch with you. I will be emailing you at the address that this
email came to. If there is another, better way to reach you, please email
Me with that info. If you will be out of town or unreachable from now
through the end of September, please let me know your schedule.
PUBLICATION: The book is due to come out before Thanksgiving, in time for
holiday shoppers. You will receive your two free contributors' copies
*directly from the publisher, Cleis Press.* If you have moved or plan to
move around then, or would like your books sent to an address other than the
one you wrote on your contract, please email me ASAP.
PAYMENT: You will receive a check for $100 from me as soon as Cleis pays
me, and I expect that will be in December. I will also send you a copy of
our contract for your records. If you have moved, or would like your check
sent to an address other than the one you wrote on your contract, please
email me ASAP.
READINGS: We'll be setting up readings around the country to promote the
book. If you are interested in setting up a reading or event in your local
area, please get in touch with me.
Congratulations again, and let me know if you have any questions.
