4.0 out of 5 stars
Entertaining & informative, April 1 2001
By Ian Glavine - Published on Amazon.com
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.

Unhappy.. With Amazon, Feb 2 2010
By Jack Russell - Published on Amazon.com
My mailing address was screwed up through Amazon and pkg was (apparently) sent to a year old address then returned to vendor by PO.
I saw error when vendor sent msg that pkge was shipped but couldn't correct it in time.
Bottom line is I never received it even tho I have received several items over the past year at new address.
itmt I got stuck with postage.. both ways... damn..
