Writing Erotic Fiction - Derek Parker

Jun 16, 2009 15:53

A slightly outdated how-to book from the 1990's. It had some good points, but I really don't know about the part where Parker insist that erotic novels don't need much of a plot. I would imagine that now days, readers would want something with a bit more substance, but that's just me.
The first half of the book was the most interesting part. It was a history of erotic literature. Some of the discussion was actually quite interesting. Personally I think he did better with the history part than with the actual advice, but again, that's just me.

Books read: 18/20
