I’ve got all these forked up stories in my head… maybe they could earn their keep and pay a bill or two.
So how do I go about it? It seems inherently more risky than sending in a manuscript for a ‘normal’ novel. What are some respected erotica publishers?
Buy (or go to the library) and read The Writer’s Market. It comes out every year.
Back when I was a kid, I wrote some pretty good porn. (Heck I lived some pretty good porn.) The major publisher of dirty books was Greenleaf. They turned out 365 titles a year. Their guidance to authors?
“Normal people in sexual situations, evenly-spaced sex scenes, no big words.”
Check out the Market and see what the internet has done to them and other such publishers. Even Back In The Day, they paid a pittance.
The internet is quite a good place to look for publishers for erotic fiction too. You’ll find there’s quite a lot of online 'zines and ebook publishers that seem to offer very good rates (if not what you’ll make with mainstream fiction).
You could try publishing some stories on www.literotica.com. Readers will rate your stories for you, so you will get feedback and an idea of how good you are.
