Alyson Books is currently accepting submissions for Best Gay Love Stories: Summer Flings (Editor: Brad Nichols) and Best Lesbian Love Stories: Summer Flings (Editor: Simone Thorne).

Everyone loves to fall in love, and summertime is the perfect time of year. The days are long, the living is easy, and your heart is just that much more happy, that much more receptive to the notion of love. In this year’s edition of our annual “love stories” series, Alyson Books is looking for entries about that hot time of the year when the heat of the sun and breeze off the ocean encourage us to link our arms, our hearts, and our lives. Whether it’s the start of a long-term relationship or just a fun fling for the summer months, we want to celebrate the season with a sprinkling of romance.

Please submit all original stories as a Word document attachment to lovestories@alyson.com, along with name and pseudonym (if applicable), short bio, as well as contact info.

[This email address is for SUBMISSIONS ONLY.]

The submissions deadline for both books is March 15, 2007. Stories should be between 2,500 and 4,000 words in length.

Thanks for sending the info along, Jen!
