Writing Erotica: A Self-Publishing How-To Manual

This book is an easy to use introductory guide to writing and self-publishing erotica. Everything you need is here, and hopefully, no extraneous information. The first half of this book is specific to how to write erotic stories and the second half is devoted to how to publish that work.
Not only are the general guidelines on how to write erotica provided, but also a specific, detailed example is also given and walked through. The example leads you through the steps to develop a story structure and scene list. A specific scene writing tutorial is included and analyzed, along with the essential step of creating a strong book description.
The guide to self-publishing your completed eBook is equally applicable to any eBook, not just those in the erotic genre.
The rapid change undergoing in the self-publishing landscape has made a second edition of this book desirable. While I have made every effort to keep this book short and to the point, this second edition has greatly expanded the content of the first edition. This guide is no longer limited to eBooks; I also spell out how to do paperback (using Amazon’s CreateSpace) and hardcover (Lulu) versions. Details on how to publish on other venues, such as Draft2Digital and All Romance eBooks have been added.
The section on how to actually write erotica has more than doubled. I’ve also added a significant section on the general principles of story structure in response to requests from some of my beta readers.
Caution: This book contains brief examples of explicit erotica.
