Erotic Fiction

Garibaldi Highlands, BC (PRWEB) November 20. One erotic fiction ebook publisher has traded ten thousand pictures for words with the release of a new Yaoi-style story by award-winning bestseller Morgan Hawke. “With the timely submission of popular author Morgan Hawke’s Yaoi novella, a new door was opened, and a market discovered,” said Stefani V. Kelsey, Editor-in-Chief for eXtasy Books(extasybooks.com). “The popularity of the Manga medium led to the conclusion that erotic novels in that vein would be well-received, and initial sales are proving that theory.” Although the novels follow the narrative style of manga and its offshoots, the eXtasy line is written in tight, fast-paced prose. Even without the pictures, though, TORRID and its successors are certain to entertain fans of graphic novels. That was proven by the popularity of Hawke’s Hungry Spirits, a romantic piece of art.

Erotic Fiction Contest


The Sinclair Institute announced its 6th annual Erotic Fiction Contest today taking place on its web site BetterSex.com. This year’s contest adds over $ 4,000 in cash and prizes to the $ 15,000 the company awarded in similar contests moving the company’s total to close to $ 20,000 in prize money to amateur erotic writers in 6 contests over five years. “I had no idea how much people love to write and read erotic stories,” explained Martin Smith a Director at the company and the competition’s creator, “We are writers who know how hard it is to get paid for writing,” Mr. Smith shared. This explains the company’s generous stance on copyright. “Copyright is always owned by submitting writers, they grant us permission to publish their story once and we pay for every use thereafter,” explained Director Smith.

Better Sex Press creates books and audio CD’s from winning stories in each contest. “Profits from our erotic book and audio CDs are paid back to writers,” Mr. Smith said. Over 1,000 copies of the Better Sex Erotic Stories first edition sold from the company’s web site and through wholesale partners. “Our goal is create a book after each contest,” explained Director Smith. The book from the fifth contest should be out in time for this holiday season. “Being published is as important to many of our contest’s writers as winning the money,” Mr. Smith said.

The quality and variety of erotic stories stunned the company. “We were surprised to receive over 300 stories from writers around the world in our first contest,” said Mr. Smith. The Sixth Better Sex Amateur Erotic Fiction Contest uses a similar format. Each story is read in the order received to award 39 publication slots on BetterSex.com. Once publication slots are final, 3 stories are published every Monday morning in a winner take all community vote. Winners from each week become “Weekly Winners”. Weekly Winners earn $ 100, will be published in the next book and are eligible for this year’s Grand Prize of $ 2,000.

“The recession trimmed our awards a bit, but we are committed to creating substantial awards for talented erotic fiction writers,” explained Mr. Smith. Several writers have won multiple awards. The company allows writers to enter as many stories as they choose. “Awards are made to stories not authors, so a writer may win multiple awards,” explained Mr. Smith. What about ballot stuffing and fraud? “We developed a special algorithm to insure fairness,” Mr. Smith explained. “Most of our writers have blogs and participate in social networks so they use the Internet to help get the vote out for their stories,” Large social networks don’t guarantee victory. “This application of crowd wisdom in picking the best stories really helps insure quality and variety,” Director Smith said. Each year Mr. Smith offers his editing feedback to help a struggling writer. “I like to find a writer who is almost there and provide notes for edits that would help them move into the winning group,” said ScentTrail blog writer Smith.

Submissions are judged on a “rolling admissions” basis where great stories are awarded publication slots as read. Mr. Smith encourages writers to send in their story or stories as soon as possible. “Some years we fill up fast with great work,” Mr. Smith said. Submission deadline for the contest is midnight Sunday October 4th.

Better Sex Erotic Fiction Contest

Hillsborough, NC, October, 2008. The Sinclair Institute announced today $5,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded to amateur erotic fiction writers. This will be the fifth Better Sex Erotic Fiction Contest held by the company. The company awarded more than $ 15,000 to almost 100 writers in previous contests held at the company’s web site BetterSex.com. “Our summer 2008 erotic fiction contest received over five hundred stories from amateur writers in 9 countries including New Zealand, Canada and France,” said Martin Smith a Director for the company. B. B. Giddens, a New Zealand writer, was awarded the top prize by a three judge panel in the summer contest. A companion book is planned. “Most contest writers are amateurs writing erotic fiction as a hobby,” explained Mr. Smith, “so being published is a thrill.”

Submission deadline for the 5th Erotic Fiction contest is midnight Sunday November 1st and the contest ends on Valentine’s Day 2009. Adult writers, those 18 years of age or older at time of story submission, will submit steamy stories that explore a variety of fantasies. “We see common themes, but our writers’ creativity is always amazing.” Mr. Smith said. “Snow White and the Vampire was one of our summer finalists just by way of example,” Mr. Smith chuckled.

“Romance” fiction is now the largest single book sales category with an estimated 13.3% share according to Simba Research. Romance fiction is playing an increasingly important role in The New York Times and USA Today Best Sellers Lists. Publishers are aware of this trend creating more romance titles last year than ever and using new technologies such as Real Simple Syndication (RSS) to reach busy readers. Erotic Stories from BetterSex.com, the book created after each erotic fiction contest, may never appear on the New York Times Best Sellers list, but 2008 sales exceeded a 1,000 copies. “Our wholesale customers love the book, writers tell their friends and writers for next year’s contest purchase the book to study winning stories,” explained Director Smith.

Mr. Smith created the contest in 2003. “Writers ask why we organize this yearly round up of great erotic fiction,” said Mr. Smith. “At first, in 2003, it seemed like a fun, creative idea, and something different,” Mr. Smith explained. BetterSex.com realized it had, almost by chance, tapped into something when they received so many well written stories from around the world. “Women writers outnumbered men in our first contest 3 to 1, but our summer contest only had a slight edge for stories by women writers,” Mr. Smith shared. Mr. Smith, a dedicated blogger and amateur writer, continued, “I know what it is like to write for long hours, for a handful of readers. For many writers the joy of writing is the only compensation, so it was important to create a contest to support writers with money, recognition and encouragement.”

Profits from Better Sex Erotic Stories book and companion CD are paid to authors as ongoing licensing revenue. The first licensing payments for 2007’s winning authors should be in the mail in time for 2008’s holidays. The company has a history of giving to important causes. DKT International, a four star rated global family planning and aids prevention charity, received more than $ 10,000,000 in support over a period of years from the company. “Profits from our customers’ purchases help DKT save lives around the world,” said Mr. Smith. “Our annual Erotic Fiction Contest helps amateur writers create art and what is life without art,” Mr. Smith concluded.
