Greetings:

I viewed the website thought it was rather cool. With your experience in the sports and entertainment business, I wanted to ask your opinion about two authors I'm assisting. Both of them are former athletes and wanted to know how can I use that part of their lives to marketing their novels. One chose semi-autobiography on their life and the other is an urban mystery writer. Both of them are posted on my page for a literart event to be held here in Houston, TX September 13, 2008. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration to this correspondence and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Good to see you on the site. The Forums are a good place to network with other writers and publishers and share information on book publishing. Have you read Book Pimping?
 
 
 

SPAM IS SO NOT COOL!

Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
We have lost numerous members because of the amount of 'friend' mail they instantly receive. This Hurts Everyone.
Spam is unsolicited advertising, whether it is posted as comments on other members' pages or is emailed for marketing purposes.

Please be considerate. Post your advertisement in the proper Articles/Forum or Group. There are free classifieds on the Pages tab. You can post your information on your profile and even update your blog as often as you like.

We are not into censorship, so please don't make us ask you to leave. Be kind and unselfish - don't spam.

Advice on Exploring Erotica in Your Writing

MediaBistro's Morning Media Menu had a conversation with author Jamie Brenner about advice for writers looking to explore this newly crowded genre. An excerpt from Brenner: My first erotic novel came out two years ago. The landscape feels completely different. There is not just the hope to reach a mainstream audience with erotic novel, but the expectation that success is reaching everyone, not just the genre readers. Fifty Shades of Grey really raised the bar for that. At the same time, working…See More
