Within the next couple of days, a whole pile of manuscripts will be headed for my editor and have been looking at additional editorial passes for later works. The search is going slower than I would have hoped, because there’s plenty of editors out there, but not so many who are happy to edit erotica, erotica written by males, or short stories. The few I have found will probably enter the editorial pool once I get scripts ready for that part of the publishing process.
Based on the feedback received in a couple of forums online, I have realised that the teasers for my published books aren’t as far into the erotica spectrum as they need to be, and the cover art is okay, but very tame compared to much of what is out there.
I think a bit of reassessment of the way my first two books are identified online will help, but I need to be careful that they don’t cross the line for publishing sites like Amazon and iTunes, where titles need approval for listing and can be arbitrarily delisted if they go too far.
At the least, I can improve what’s out there and look to improve what comes next in the process.
