Competition Submissions

Lilith’s Virtual Lair Writing Competition
We hope our first writing competition will spark creativity and help you beat the last of those winter blues.
This competition is for sapphic writers of erotic poetry, and writers of all experience levels are warmly welcome.
Please keep poetry submissions under 40 lines
Poems are intended to be of an erotic nature. However, we understand what is erotic to an individual is subjective. Feel free to explore what erotic means to you.
If you want to see the sort of work Lilith's Lair publishes, you can join us on Patreon.com/lilithsvirtuallair
