5.0 out of 5 stars The Kama Sutra of erotic romance writing September 17, 2011

By Cara Bristol

Format:Kindle Edition

How to Write Hot Sex is like the Kama Sutra of erotic romance writing, filled with tips and techniques for putting passion and freshness into your sex scenes, whether you write sweet romance or kinky erotica.

This how-to book will give you all sorts of "naughty" ideas for turning on your characters and tuning in your readers (and maybe turning them on, too!). Well-known and rising- star erotic romance authors share their personal secrets and tricks of the trade to transform your sex scenes from ho-hum to orgasmic.

From vanilla to kink and m/f to m/m or f/f, you'll learn the ins and outs (pun intended) of how to make your sex scenes work with and enhance your plot, develop your characters and become an integral part of the story. How to Write Hot Sex contains both general, overarching tips (a macro view) and then drills down to even sentence structure (a micro view), with a full range of helpful hints in between.

This is a 'must read' for new erotic romance writers, but even experienced authors with several published books under their belts will pick up tips to improve their sex scenes.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for Romance Writers of all Genres and Career Paths! October 2, 2011

By Annabeth Albert

Format:Kindle Edition

Don't think you write hot sex? Think again! Sure this collection has plenty to offer erotica authors, but it's real value lies in helping writers of all sub-genres who want to open the bedroom door on love scenes--whether they want to crack it or shine a spotlight on it. The articles on pacing, tension, realism, conflict, and emotion are among the best I've read on doing love scenes right. The articles are chock-full of examples and written in a very approachable way--this isn't a dry textbook at all. Rather, this is more like a celebration of all that makes erotica writing great. Now, for those looking for tips on writing kink, BDSM, and for niche erotica markets, there's plenty of great stuff here too. But I wouldn't shy away from this title just because you don't see your own writing ever going *there.* The anthology is laid out very nicely and it is easy to just skip over articles that don't apply as much to you. Evers discussion of different publishing terms and routes is clear and straightforward and goes a long way to helping authors make sense of the changing markets--she doesn't say do this/don't do this/the sky is falling, but rather just lays everything out there. All in all, this is one of the best writing craft books I have read in a long time (and I read a lot of them!).
