4.0 out of 5 stars
Entertaining & informative,
By Ian Glavine (Springdale, Newfoundland Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Writing Erotica (Paperback)
A companion piece to van Belkom's previous writing how-to WRITING HORROR, this book does for erotica what WRITING HORROR did for horror fiction. He teaches you all the basics, point-of-view, dialogue, exposition, manuscript format, where and how to sell your work, and he discusses the various subgenres.Some passages are copied verbatim from WRITING HORROR but arranged to teach you about writing erotica. There's a discussion of language (soft-core to hard-core), interviews with the genre's leading authors and editors and a nifty plotting device that'll have you writing stories in no time. All in all, a definitive guide for budding erotica writers. I recommend it as heartily as I did for WRITING HORROR.

Excellent,

This review is from: Writing Erotica (Paperback)
For many of us, it isn't that we're prude about sex scenes... it's that we don't know what lines to cross, when, and how, to create the best effect. Matter-of-fact without being childish or rude, Edo van Belkom's Writing Erotica takes the guesswork out, and gives clear comparisons that any writer can use to enhance the sensuality in their stories or take full-on into erotic writing. This is a must-have title.
