4.0 out of 5 stars A Great How To Write Smut/Porn/Erotica That Sells, 4 Mar 1998

By A Customer

Mike Bailey has loads of experience as an editor for numerous publishing houses that publish erotica/smut/porn/one-handed reading material - use your favorite genre descriptor. Having published four such novels myself I can say with confidence that his advice is excellent - especially for the person trying to break into what has become a highly competitive field. The writing advice is practical, and budding authors of all genres would do well to pay attention to his hints. In addition to making a specific point, many of the illustrative excerpts from published erotica also highlight some of the shortcomings of what has already made it into print, thereby serving as great examples of common mistakes and how to avoid them. The exercises he suggests are good, especially if you're in the middle of a nagging edit, and aren't sure how to add just the right erotic touch to your work. I was keen to read this book because Mike has so far rejected all my submissions. I think I now have a better insight into the types of material and the slant he prefers. This intelligence should help me - an already published author - with my next offering. I'd say there's something in this book for smut-peddlers of every experience level, style and ambition.
