Hello. My name is Jon Essex and I work with Agency Publishing. If you haven't heard of use, our website can be found here. Our company has been publishing tickle torture comic books for 12 years.
Agency Publishing is currently seeking serious writers of short stories for upcoming projects and promotions involving, as you might imagine, tickling. We are looking for talented artists who have a passion for the writing.
Here are the general guidelines/notes:
If you are interested and can work within the above guidelines, please email the following to me at [email protected]
Please send all samples, questions, etc. about this opportunity to [email protected]. I will answer them as promptly as possible. Please do not rely on posts in this forum for important communication in this regard; email is more direct.
Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Essex
Talent Coordinator, Agency Publishing
Agency Publishing is currently seeking serious writers of short stories for upcoming projects and promotions involving, as you might imagine, tickling. We are looking for talented artists who have a passion for the writing.
Here are the general guidelines/notes:
1. This is a paying gig. Specific amounts will be discussed if we are interested in bringing you on board, but payment will be at a per-word rate. We are looking for short stories in the 10,000 word range at the moment.
2. We will ask that you sign a contract with us outlining the terms of your employment as well as a nondisclosure agreement. Don’t worry these aren’t lengthy legal treatises. They are easily understood without retaining the services of a lawyer. Be aware that there are no exclusivity clauses in these contracts, so you are free to pursue other projects.
3. Deadlines will be set. These are negotiable, but continued employment (even on the current project) will be affected by how well these are met.
4. We can only accept submissions in English.
5. You must be able to write professionally and well. I will take a very dim view of your sample if it is full of grammatical mistakes and spelling errors, for instance.
6. Sexual situations will be a part of these stories, but we make every effort to make sure these are done tastefully. We're a kinder, gentler adult production house (definitely softcore, not hardcore).
7. We are currently looking for work that will be part of the canon of Agency Publishing’s settings. We are not taking submissions for completely new intellectual properties.
8. We will ask for a rough outline before you start work. You may be asked to make revisions to this and/or the draft as part of the work.

If you are interested and can work within the above guidelines, please email the following to me at [email protected]
1. Your contact information, including how you would like to be addressed in our work together and in the story’s byline, if you are published.
2. A short sample of your best writing. It should be tickling-related in order to give us an idea of how you handle the subject matter. It can be an “extract” from the story you have in mind, but this is not completely necessary. The sample should be between 500 and 1,000 words. I will only read the first 1,000 words of a sample over this amount.
3. Send all of the above, including the full text of your writing sample, in the body of the email itself. The writing sample should also be attached as a Microsoft Word-compatible file (.doc or .docx are best).
