You want to appear in a story published by them?

| I would have to either modify something I have written here (they don't allow first person writing - sad) or write something new. Any opinions? |

Write something completely new - it'll be easier than trying to adapt something.....and we'll proof read for you  |

Yeah, write something new. You shouldn't have a problem, you're attention to detail and knack for keeping us on the edge of our seats has kept more than one of us aroused....  |

There is only one problem. They want my name and address and there is no way I can share that - if my family found out i would be dead - well thrown out anyway!

Do you live with your parents? Would they see any mail? The thing is that they won't publish your address, only your name. Is it a really unusual name?
And...anyone who sees your story published has to admit that they were reading an anthology of lesbian erotica  |

Yes I am living with my parents - so they often see my mail. My first name is ..... Sarah ... I guess there are a few of us around!
I just don't think I should risk being known - my parents are pretty conservative, they would be horrified! |

| Is it possible to get a post office box? That way only you have access to your mail. They cost money though so that might not be an option. |

They say you can use a pseudonym...so the only name people would see published would be that.
Can I suggest Sarahgirl as a suitable one  |

Well if you can find a way out of your parents finding out, (and consequently freaking out) I say go for it Sarah!  |
