On Thursday, January 7, 2010 a new weekly blog hit the cyberspace that is sure to improve your writing skills where erotica is concerned.

Seeing the need for a cohesive group of writers that could be THE Defining authors of Erotica, I put together the WriteSEX blogs. With the help of my publicist, we chose to partner with a few of the legends in erotica. On board are: the ever talented erotica author M. Christian, lusty and gorgeous Oceania who is the voice of erotica.  We have Jean Marie Stine, owner of Renaissance E-books signed onboard.  Dark Erotic author Thomas Roche brings light to writing the taboo.  Rounding out the panel is Dr. Nicole Peeler.

We realized that we have something of value for the writing community.  Many authors have desire to add erotic elements to their stories or just want to learn to write blue novels.  Our panel has done everything in between and can guide writers in any stage of their career.

Everything they’ll ever want to know about writing smut or adding spice to your stories, we’ll teach.  We’ll cover marketing basics as well as how to approach publishers.  We’ll cover the hows and whys of erotica from what it is to what it’s not, how to deal with backlash from friends and how to make industry contacts that matter. Technique and structure of stories will be discussed along with how to be versatile in any market.  How to approach publishers will be covered along with the darker erotic markets and some website SEO stuff by a guest blogger.  We’ll cover e-book and print basics also.

In the class, we’ll let each panel member spend a day with the group talking about their particular area of expertise so that those taking our workshop will get a well rounded education.

I have a particular bent towards erotic romance so much of my blogging time will be spent covering techniques that writers need to learn.

The importance of learning to add erotic elements can make an author’s career better by giving them another outlet for publication and add another level of depth to their writing.

On behalf of the WriteSEX team, I look forward to instructing you all J
