As a romantic fiction writer who likes to add some spice to her stories, I can always use a little help with keeping my amorous scenes fresh and exciting, no matter what they'll be like. After all, it's no fun when you read something and all the sexy scenes start to sound the same.

I can't really claim to have read this one. I flicked through large sections wondering why I'd bought the book. Oh yes, it was because I've been writing more sex into my books and wanted some advice from people who did that kind of writing more often than I. Apparently I don't need the advice since I considered the essays in this book incredibly obvious.
The only article I found useful was Jean Johnson's one on the biology involved in sex and how you can use that to improve your writing. Sadly, t...more

Pretty good starter on writing, with the focus on erotica. Structure-wise, I'd have preferred to read the author bios after I read their advice; that way I have their voice in my head when I imprint on their name. Didn't realize, but (because of this?) I stopped reading the bios altogether, so when I read the essay I liked best I had to page back to find out who had written it. It's Delphine Dryden, "So You Think You Can Kink?" which, in addition to the common wisdom of know your characters and...more
I really enjoyed this. Good, quick read, which is helpful when you want/need some advice but still have shit to do.
I particularly enjoyed the essays "Real Ugly", "Five Sexy Senses To Rev Up Scenes", "The Law Of Attraction", and "Fighting Sex". Really, though, I can honestly say I got something valuable from every section in this book, including the ones aimed at genres I don't (yet?) write.

I am an aspiring writer who follows Shoshanna Evers on Twitter.I saw her tweet this link and i am thrilled I downloaded this how to must have! What wonderful advice from all the authors who contributed! I strongly recommended this book to a few friend who has been contemplating taking "the writing plunge"also . She reported inspiration after a few pages into it! Thank you very much to all involved! Happy writing :)
This collection of short articles by various erotica authors is valuable to anyone who want to put more heat into their stories. One does not need to aim at full-on erotica to garner valuable guidance from this book. In fact, I would say that those looking to not cross some ill defined line between "spicy" and "erotic" will have much to learn from this book.
I found the book to be a quick read, but one that I should go back and study to fully grasp and take in all the useful tips and advice. It’s packed full of good, solid info on how to write erotica, and I recommend it for anyone interested in writing for the genre.
This is great for writers who only write a sensual scene here or there TO writers who write full on erotica.
Great tips an tools!
