Weird
Beard Press publishes erotica. Some
would even say we specialize in it. The
most successful descriptions of sexual encounters always stimulate the
intellect as well as the imagination, to excite the mind as much as the body. Why shouldn't literature elaborate on our deepest
sexual fantasies, putting them into words and lending them substance, even if
they’re slightly taboo? Expertly crafted
erotic narratives will leave readers feeling satisfied yet linger in their
memory long enough to lure them back for a second look, or even a third. Though both are intended to arouse, erotica
shouldn't be confused with pornography, though the two may seem similar to the
inexperienced eye. If pornography is
like beer – canned for quick consumption and full of foam – then erotica is
more like champagne – aged to pressurized perfection and infused with
effervescence. Bubbly narrative intoxicates
but also refreshes. That’s the kind of erotica we’re looking for at Weird Beard Press – writing that sparkles. Fine erotica should be witty, urbane, cogent,
yet edgy, even transgressive. It may
embrace kink so long as it doesn’t glamorize crime. By crime we mean any sort of wrongdoing that
deprives adults of their right to consent to sexual activity. Animals, minors, corpses, and the mentally
incapacitated can’t consent to sex, so we don’t write about them.
We understand that
not everyone appreciates erotic narrative.
That’s why we seclude these pages behind warnings that advise the faint
of heart against allowing their curiosity to get the better of them when it
comes to topics their higher minds would prefer not to entertain. We respect their decision not to follow the
rest of us down the proverbial rabbit hole of subliminal impulses into the
shadowy underworld of sexual license. We
nonetheless yearn to hear from ever strand in our social fabric – men, women,
transgenders, and those who refuse to be pigeonholed into a conventional gender
identity – regardless if your sexual orientation (if indeed you profess to have
one). The world craves education in
spite of itself. Tell it what sexual
frustration and fulfillment are like for you.
Those of us who, to
paraphrase William Faulkner, prefer to “write not of the heart but of the
glands” typically need guidance in the formative phases of their career. Weird Beard Press is here to assist you. With our expertise at editing both fiction
and nonfiction in various genres, we can help assiduous authors transform a
“Cracklin’ Rosie” into a cuvée de
prestige. We want to teach you how
to turn a string of descriptives (“the soft, creamy, young flesh of her
beautifully rounded bouncing bosom was beckoning him to bury his unshaven face
in the deep, warm, sweaty cleavage between them”) into a sturdy brickwork of
nouns and verbs.
We publish poems, essays,
sketches, short stories, and novels in the following fourteen categories of
erotica. Unleash your imagination and
give one (or more) of them a try.
1) Straight
2) Gay
3) Lesbian
