GET STARTED IN WRITING EROTIC FICTION

Another in the famous Teach Yourself series, the book is packed with ideas that will drive you and the confidence you might be lacking to write well about sex. That is difficult even for the most experienced authors and the book helps you craft believable, steamy and readable erotic fiction whether you have written before or are a complete beginner. Think about your favourite sexual fantasy, right now. Did an image flicker across your mind or a series of images? There's a good chance that, deep down, the very thought of that fantasy tiggered a physical reaction. Humans are sexual beings with big brains. We love stories and this is the premise behind erotic fiction. Today there is a revolution with online shopping and the eReader which has changed the game. Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James was openly passed on to friends and the previously uninitiated gorged themselves and now we are all, frankly, hungry. The chapters have a practical outlook and there are several kinds of exercise - snapshot which are short and sweet carrying out fun tasks listing your sexual fantasies or likes; workshop exercises that are longer and more structured for a short story; writing exercises which are the most rewarding; editing exercises to help you review, critique and improve your work and focus points to help you hone in on the main ideas of each chapter. Get writing your Big Sexy List and enjoy the memories as you develop character, plot, setting, theme, scenes and point of view. With super quotes from published authors throughout and tips and excellent examples plus advice on self-publishing on an electronic platform, blogging, tweeting, raising your profile and generating that all-important word-of-mouth success. 240pp, paperback.
