Hello, everybody,
I've read the pages very carefully but somehow I didn't find the answer to this question.
First, let me introduce myself. I'm basically a non-fiction writer so I have this analytical approach. I've also read a book on erotica writing which says you need to research your possible markets (publishers, etc) to death before ever starting writing. I had a look at the online e-publishers, but all I could see was that they publish quite diverse stuff -- I couldn't notice any particular preferences in style or whatever. So my question is, do you research your markets before writing? Or you just try to tell the best story you can and then look for whatever market accepts it?
And maybe you have some other advice for a newbie like myself? Or encouragement? It seems like such an awfully complicated decision to make -- to write erotica. One minute I love the idea, next minute I hate myself, but I absolutely want to try, at least.
Thank you!
Lora
