Erotica Sells! with M. CHRISTIAN

A Workshop by M. Christian

For the beginning writer, Erotica can be just the place to start, and -best of all-- it earns respectable rates. Even for the experienced writer, Erotica is an excellent place to earn extra income or gain a very respectable resume in editing, publishing, or writing for a wide variety of genres. Erotica today is also a widely diverse field, from the typical "men's" magazines to the humorous cutting edge glossy, book or website.

You will receive:
* A current and comprehensive listing of markets for erotic short stories and short novels
* Lessons in how to tailor stories for certain markets and interest groups
* How to avoid common mistakes in erotic fiction
* Realistic expectations of current market payment rates and contracts.
