    Eroticus Pornoticus: Writing Erotic Romance Help Thread

    PUBLISHING 
    There are so much innovations in this character aspect, and some authors are killing it by taking risks. An alpha male can be covered in so many different skins, earthy and otherwordly, and erotica, with its short format is an excellent place to test these new 'concepts' before committing to...

    @ChickenHawk had a point in that I didn't word that post eloquently, which is a cardinal sin for a writer. So I apologize there was a miscommunication. It only reflects how much I need to learn about writing. I have nothing but respect for you females (moreso bc a female readership provides my...

    Nothing personal. I mention alpha male only because if you look at romance books, you'd be hard pressed to find one that doesn't fit the mold. Even craft books emphasize this archetype as the bread and butter of this genre. I serve my target way more than the other erotic writers, and I...

    Updating this two years later. Two years later and Erotica is still a hot niche. Changes? Noticed that there are more writers out there, and the market is super-saturated, but still, the dragon rests in the center. What is a dragon? It's an addiction to SMUT which drives the reader to devour...

    EXECUTION 
    I don't do marketing on my Erotica. I don't think Erotica authors do much marketing for theirs either. Erotica is like a 'let me hit it one time' game. Expect it to be used up like a... This marketing must be for romance that have wordcounts of novel or getting parlayed into series. But for OP...

    Wow you're back on the self-pub grind? :hurray: @SinisterLex The amazon algo, I heard, rewards consistent producers with higher placements. Or just pay for a professional critique. Personally, I'm not too keen on getting feedback on a public site, but i'll gobble it up if it comes from a...

    EXECUTION 
    HI! First of all: good job! You are way ahead. 10k seems lengthy for a pure erotica. Maybe 5k would be better? Depends on what Erotica.... On your cover, be careful about getting too raunchy or it will go straight to dungeon (blocked) and you should already know what title words are...

    Hello from Denver - self publishing success

    GOLD! 
    Just to clarify. If you want to write fiction and make cash without much English writing experience. Basically, IMO, you should write erotica. What is Erotica? Erotica is a kink that other people masturbate to. Basically, porn with words. SMUT. You don't really need stories, you just need...

    How to conduct research for writing ebooks?

    PUBLISHING 
    Don't confuse yourself with categorical numbers, as the only number you need is your target word count. First make a distinction Romance vs. Erotica. These are two different markets, needs, skill sets, marketing-approaches. Second, judge the niche as having 'ceilings' as in how fast does it...

    The 'Write' Road For Me [Progress Thread]

    PUBLISHING 
    I don't even have an English degree, nor did I do well in English Writing classes, but some of my books had broken top ranks in their subcategs (albeit briefly). Like in any business, give them what they want and profit. Write for ego, and lose.

    Time For Some Accountability!

    EXECUTION 
    If it's any help, I think the first year of writing teaches you how not to write. Meaning, once you feel that painful stretch of having written yourself to a corner, with your motivation diminishing and even sinking below zero, then you will try, instinctively, to avoid that. The pain of having...

    Time For Some Accountability!

    EXECUTION 
    I used to write at 3k, but it started burning me out, so I reduced it to 1k some time ago, and now it is up to 2k. Still, I get pretty tired, but not as much. Even then, I figured 2k for 300 days (roughly one year take one day off/week) counts to 600,000 words, which is roughly more than...

    How should I sell the rights to my book?

    PUBLISHING 
    It seems like an agent would do good for you. A book agent is someone who sells your book to publishing companies. In this case, maybe a publishing company that is involved in selling technical textbooks or work in correspondence with your target industry. You will need to demonstrate demand...
