The modern erotic novel is a publishing phenomenon, for only recently have explicitly sexual books been openly offered for sale, creating a boom in erotica.
This guide provides a frank, no-holds-barred introduction to the genre, focusing on areas of specific interest to would-be authors. These include:
- liberating your erotic imagination - how to create suitable plots and characters
- genres within the genre - a guide to niche markets and their requirements
- the nitty-gritty - an examination of the language of sexual expression
- where to draw the line - precise instructions on what is permissible within the law
How to get published is perhaps the most important aspect of any writer's business. The second part of this book will lead the reader through the minefield of publisher dos and don'ts, with practical insights into:
- how and where to submit
- the publisher's point of view
- publisher's guidelines for erotica
- money and contracts
