WRITERS TIPS | WRITING EROTICA
Who are you readers?
Unless you are writing purely for yourself, in which case there is no point in publishing your work anyway, there comes a point when you need to think like a reader. So when where and how is your ideal reader reading?
How to write erotic serial stories and what to look for as a reader to make finding your place in a story easy
The serial novel has a distinguished history — Charles Dickens and Alexandre Dumas were serial novelists.
Writing believable erotica should be easy but as writers of erotica, we find ourselves placing characters in evermore kinky or outlandish situations, adding more partners and taking our readers into a fantasy world. But to create that illusion the story needs to be believable.
Writing about sex, I recently ran a poll on Twitter asking this question: In my stories and books I try to weave graphic sex into a plot. Some erotica writers go straight for the sex in paragraph one. Which do you prefer?
The results and the comments were interesting:
Some of you may have noticed that a lot of the erotic stock photos I use to illustrate this site and my Medium stories are fairly exclusive. This is because they are supplied by a photographer who used to shoot covers for the erotic and fetish paperback market and has a library of unused photos. He is now making these available online other authors. He does charge for the images but the fee for online use is modest.
I’ll let him explain.
What do you want from your erotica? This is not solely about whether you want graphic descriptions of all the squelchy details or a little light romance with a hint of gentle fondling, although that is always useful to know. It is about whether you want to be engaged as a reader.
