The markets included are well out of date now, and having been written in 1999 it doesn't cover the opportunities of the internet, but if you want a book that will encourage you to get writing and make some money out of it, then this is it.
I find it dificult to understand why anyone would offer a book about porn writing that contains no examples of erotic writing; no information about the structure and requirements for popular porn categories; and, nothing that indicates the person ever wrote a porn story except her saying so. In fact, there is little in the way of writing examples of any kind in the book. For the most part the book offers homilies such as "... a story must have a beginning, middle and end" and not much more. I felt the sections on writing could easily have come from a high school course.
The paying markets section was an even bigger disappointment and caused me to wonder about the author's qualifications. The author claims to be published in Playgirl, Score, Gallery and Huster. Yet, when we look at the paying markets sections and the writers guideline section, we find no mention of these magazines. I'm not saying the author wasn't published in these magazines, but it's odd that she wouldn't provide information about places where she says she was paid for her writing. Providing the Corporate mailing address for Gallery and nothing else (like a person to send stories) is less information than I could get from just picking up a copy of the magazine in the newstand. I found better editorial information for Gallery and the other sources the author indicates paid her from reference material in my local library.
The paying markets section and writers guidelines is a hodge podge of entries. There are only 22 of them in this section. What's worse, the same two editors appear as the person to send material for about half the entries. Since the guidelines were the same for the different editors including a sarcastic comment attributed to one of the editors, it would have seemed that they could have been grouped together by editor although this would have made the section even skimpier than it already is.
