Super sorry for the really late reply! I need to get on these forums more.

I ended up pitching one of my novels, but it was denied. It wasn't romance or erotica. I might pitch again, not sure.

I'm posting to Tapas now and really enjoying it. They allow you to monetize with ads between chapters after one of your stories gets 100 subscribers. I've got about 51 now all together and with weekly updates, I'm confident I'll get to 100. They have tons of other opportunities as well and have a very welcoming and diverse community. I think it might be the app for me :)

If I end up writing a paranormal romance, I might try Radish again, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what might happen with Tapas.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe they have open submissions right now for ideas to be turned into comics :)

Thank you so much for your reply! I'm going to pitch a supernatural erotic thriller with BDSM elements to the app but all the works I've looked at so far (even if marked erotica) appear relatively vanilla and I began to wonder if it was a good fit.

I'm sorry to hear about your books. It seems like a real hit or miss on that app. A lot of authors left wattpad (that were doing well) or cross post there. I publish almost everywhere but apps seem to be the next evolution of publishing and I'm trying them out and seeing if anything sticks.

Again, thanks so much for the reply.

I've recently applied to Radish because I'd heard so much about it and now I'm seeing this thread while researching. @Amy, I was wondering if you could link the guidelines by the erotic romance publisher? I'm interested in reading it.
