Product Description
Product Description
Storytelling qualities such as plot and character development often take a back seat in erotic fiction--and why shouldn't they? The reader picks up a dirty book for one reason: to be turned on, right? So why should a writer bother with all that craft stuff? +++ But what if there were more to it than that? What if readers wanted a real novel with a real story that satisfied emotionally and intellectually--as well as erotically? +++ It's possible to craft a story to satisfy those readers. This book will show you how.

Loved it!
26 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
First, as the title to my review would indicate, I have to say that I really loved this book. However . . . this is a book about writing, not necessarily about writing erotic stories. As a mystery writer, I found it helpful and fascinating, with many insights and useful tips. And there IS information about crafting love scenes, but I really think the book is more valuable than that. If it seems I am being vague, it's probably because I am having difficulty describing exactly what this book taught me. Basically, I learned that I need to take my time writing these difficult (for me, anyway) passages, and that point of view is paramount. But there is so much more to be had in this little gem of a book! I could see people being frustrated if what they wanted was a how-to on writing erotica -- this is more for writers whose stories incorporate love scenes and how to make them flow naturally, and (of course) how to make them hot!

Wonderful
9 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
This book packs so much information on the craft of writing erotica. The only drawback is that it's to short. The author covers every aspect that a writer can run into trouble on and includes ways to jump start your writing, and a lexicon. Extremely pleased with this book. It is very through and makes use of all its pages.

Good for the Newbie
23 July 2008
Format:Paperback
This was an excellent book, especially for anyone thinking about
writing Erotic romance....simple,straight, and to the point.
It stresses the importance of character development and plot, with sex
being the driving force of the characters, not just a bunch of sex with
no plot. If one is looking for that, then erotica or pornography is the way to go...if the sex scenes are taken out and the story can stand alone,
then you have a good story; otherwise, it's not Erotic Romance.
