Seeking Freelance Copywriters
Hips and Curves.com is seeking freelance copywriters for our monthly newsletter. We are looking for steamy, flash-fiction stories featuring “well-rounded” women and sexy lingerie; especially stories about women who have a positive outlook about their bodies and their sexuality.
What we want:
-
Smart, sexy and short- 500 to 1000 word stories that grab the readers' attention with the first sentence. We want stories that portray a moment in time, a small peek into someone's life, just one issue rather than an entire life history.
-
Steamy without explicit sex- How much sexual tension can you create without using detail-driven, graphic descriptions?
-
Curvy Women- Stories involving "well-rounded" women, from the point of view of a full-figured woman or the admirer of a full-figured woman.
-
Lingerie- Since we are a lingerie site, lingerie must be an integral part of the story. Use one or two items from our site in a natural and appealing way. Don't say, “He took off her chemise, tossed it on the floor and said he liked her better naked.”
-
Humor- We love humor, so if it works, use it.
What we do not want:
-
Sloppy writing
-
Stories with graphic sexuality
-
Work which is discriminatory or biased in nature or offensive.
-
Sexually explicit material written by anyone under the age of 18 (or 21 if 21 is the age of majority in your state).
-
Work which is copyrighted in whole or in part to anyone but the author.
-
Work sent in by anyone other than the author.
-
Work which could violate the decency laws of any jurisdiction.
Compensation:
-
We pay upon publication in our newsletter. We are looking for writers we can work with on an ongoing basis. Compensation is negotiable.
Other projects:
-
Merchandise copy that integrates sensuality, playfulness and humor with professional product copy and manufacturers specifications. Descriptions 75 to 150 words. Please send samples of your work. Compensation is negotiable.
-
Articles on dressing and feeling sexy, dating tips, seduction, spicing up romance, etc.
How to submit:
-
Submissions may be sent via e-mail to editor@hipsandcurves.com. Type and paste your work into the body of e-mail. We will not open attachments.
If your work is accepted:
-
You will receive an e-mail informing you that your piece has been accepted. Legal agreements and releases are sent which give us permission to publish your story in our newsletter and archive it online.
