About Us

John William Waterhouse. Hylas and the Nymphs, 1896.

The Act Itself is a new erotica publication featuring exciting short fiction, breathtaking artwork, and informative articles from the world of adult entertainment. Your hostess is known simply as 'The Mrs.' and she works tirelessly to present the very best--all smiles, sighs, and the occasional titter. Our publisher, Bearmanor Media, is a 14-year veteran in publishing fine entertainment books and we're excited to be a part of this new venture.

We will be publishing four times a year--toward the ends of March, June, September, and December, promising at least 150 pages of goodness in each issue. The Act Itself will be available via subscription, through order via our publisher, BearManor Media, Amazon, and elsewhere (we'll keep you posted!). Digital and audio options are being examined. 

We are currently open to submissions of short fiction and art, open to advertising, and open to nonfiction queries. Check out our guidelines and advertising pages for more information. We will have information for subscribers up shortly, and we'll keep you updated on our inaugural issue.

Oh... and don't forget to look for us on Facebook. Yeah, we'll be there.
