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.
This book is the equivalent of several blog articles written by several authors compiled into a book. Some of the author's work in the self promotion smoothly, while others it feels more like "I don't care if you actually learn anything, I just want to show off" and what's worse is the passages by those authors weren't very inspiring either. That said, there were a few articles in there (2 or 3) that helped, in some parts. I wish I had researched the table of content before purchasing as several of chapter I would have known ahead of time weren't going to be helpful. That said, kudos to these authors for their success, and thank you to the ones whose passages and advice taught and inspired. Considering this collaboration seemed more geared toward their self promotion than anything else, I would recommend they just offer it for free.
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!).
Go ahead and get rid of the other books you may have on writing sex, because this is the only one you will ever need. I learned so much from this book that I wish other books could be like it. Every subject is covered and the authors are not sloppy in dishing information. The advice is easy to follow, remember and incorporate into your writing and you can tell all the authors want you to learn how to better your writing. I just finished my first romance novel and was into the third edit when I read this book. I was able to fix up my sex scenes and really make them sizzle, something I was unsure I could do before. Do yourself a favor and snatch up this book while you can, you won't be sorry.
If you are an erotic romance writer, or are considering writing it, you *need* to read this book. It's jam-packed with information covering all different types of sex scenes. You might want to have a tall glass of ice water handy, too, because even these authors' non-fiction is hot!-- Amanda Twentyfive, writing as Cassandra Carr
As a YA author of mature content and reader of this genre, every editor I've read mentioned for writers to not write sex scenes, because they did them so poorly, clunky, threw the scenes in for lack of something else creative to write, and don't bother, since we all know what happens in the end of the scene. So this topic was restricted, as it were, to the genres of erotica, romance and romance suspense. So I was curious how this book could work for me in a genre not usually know for well-crafted sex scenes.I freakin' LOVE this book!Only on the first essay, this has ideas churning for me to use scenes like these to further the story and plot in ways I didn't dream possible. HOW TO WRITE HOT SEX tells it in a realistic, straightforward, funny as hell, easy and imagination churning style how, even if you're not a writer in this genre, you can use this book and flip to which content you need to put the spark in the sex scenes you novel lacks. It only makes sense to tell the same scenes we know and have experienced in a fresh, thoughtful, conflicting emotionally and life-happens light: the kids interrupt you, the phone rings, the dog just puked or the cat decided to attack your hind end just as you're about to hit completion . . . whichever the case in your novel or fantasy, this book does stire the fires for an even more readable,e xicitng, alluring and engaging sex scene.I'm impressed, and will reference this often in my future works. Awesome job, ladies!
