and I found there was no place I could submit them for publication. As I understand it, Cecilia started Circlet Press because she saw a gap in the speculative fiction publishing world - Cecilia, would that be an accurate assessment? Could you tell us how and why you started Circlet Press?Ĭecilia Tan: Basically what had happened was I had written some stories that were very graphically erotic and also very clearly science fiction, involving telepathic characters, other planets, etc. . . . They also distribute fine erotic books, magazines, how-to manuals, graphic novels and works of sexual politics, particularly bondage/SM/leather and other alternative sexualities. Mary Anne Mohanraj: Circlet publishes a wide range of erotic science fiction and fantasy, queer-themed SF/F, and sex-related nonfiction. She's also an excellent editor, a sexuality activist, and she is in a unique position in the speculative fiction world, as the founder/publisher of Circlet Press. She is a fine author whose work has appeared numerous times in Best American Erotica and Best Lesbian Erotica her recent collection of short stories from HarperCollins is entitled Black Feathers. Over the years since then we've met many times at conventions, and have had the opportunity to work together on a few more projects in fact, I just bought a story of hers, a retelling of "The Little Mermaid," for my recent anthology, Aqua Erotica.
I first learned of Cecilia Tan when she bought a story from me - the first story I'd ever had accepted, in fact - for an erotic fantasy anthology she was putting out, SexMagick 2.
