Hunk alert

Zac's back. And he's writing for Snowball.

For those of you that love reading the gay erotic fiction here on Substack, you just knew that Zac Baker (often writing as Zayq) would find a way to be involved in an exciting start-up like Snowball Editions. We are so excited to be able to confirm Zac as the next author that will be joining us when we open for business later in 2026.

A quick recap on the Snowball situation? We are opening a carefully chosen and curated online bookshop soon. And we are filling it with beautiful and hot stories, written by some of the best gay erotica authors. Authors that write with their hearts and minds and hands, rather than pushing an AI button and claiming the result as their own. Writers that connect their emotions and desires to yours, so your bodies can react in tune. Writers that bring their own life experiences and the delicious depravity of their imaginations and lay these things before you as erotic gifts. Writers that want to turn you on, and succeed every time. Like Zac.

And as we publish regular new work our aim is simple. We want to become your new favourite bookshop.

A quick recap on Zac? A man with many strings to his bow. But we’ll start with his Guya stories - gay erotica set in a fantasy world of princes and pirates, cruelty and desire, merchant caravans traversing the harshest deserts, cities of gold and fear and lust and love, temples of terror and palaces of sheer magic and power. Spreading out from his great fantasy cities like Arcador and Beyehren, across the sands of the deserts to Tsantsibon, south to the jungles of Tayadenc and the coastal cities that hug the Emerald Sea, Zac builds a wholly original world. Imagine The Wheel of Time or Game of Thrones - only a whole lot gay-er. This isn’t Tolkien - or if it is, let’s just say Orlando Bloom is about to pop out of his Cloak of Invisibility. The men of Guya are hard and strong and dominant and willing. And unbearably handsome. Fantasy men? In every sense of the word. And all tied together in a beautifully-built and expanding imaginative world. Let Zac take you by the hand and lead you through that world to find the cocks that shoot with endless desire and the cunts that are deep as the ocean.

But fantasy isn’t his only vibe. The hard rough men of modern London might also feature in a Zac Baker story. And Zac also writes near-future erotica, including the Metropolo stories set in a 22nd-century luxury hotel the size of a city: all human life is there - an endlessly varied background for the interaction of humans and technology, and the endless playing out of the need men have for cock and cum.

To say we are delighted to have Zac on the team is an understatement. He is an original. A half-step away from any of the gay fiction you already read. Our launch catalogue (the first books available when we open our online doors later in 2026) will include some real Zac Baker gems, and we can’t wait to publish them.

And if you haven’t subscribed to this Snowball Editions Substack yet, now is the time to do so.

Zac on Snowball:

It is a privilege to be welcomed into the Snowball world. The team is more genuinely interested in building a high-class world of quality gay erotica than anywhere else I have come across. Their way of working aligns to mine - the slow and sensual delivery of something beautiful that gets the reader hard. I can’t wait to see my words in their hands and brought to a delicious completion. I’m busily writing more tales from my fantasy world of Guya, and dreaming up the kind of gay characters that you’ll love to love. If you are sick of the power over our lives that big conglomerate organisations have, then tune into the Snowball way of doing things instead: a small business created by writers, for readers, publishing hand-picked stories, told by humans and presented with love.

Snowy on Zac:

This guy knows how to write. It’s as simple as that. His erotic fiction conjures up whole worlds. His stories are a feast for the senses and are long and evocative teases that can only lead to one conclusion. Bones! If you think fantasy as a genre isn’t for you, try Zac Baker. Epic heroes with one thing on their minds. We could not be prouder that he is working with us.

We’ll be sharing more soon on the first Zac Baker stories that we will make available in the upcoming Snowball online shop. Your new favourite bookshop! And we’ll be sharing more about our other new authors too. Can’t wait. But for the time being, are you pleased to learn that Zac is on the team?

With love

Snowy and the Team

Snowball Editions
