Excellent How To Guide

This book covered the basics in a more logical manner. While some of the resources given may be out of date due to how old the book is, it is still worth the read. Clearly explained and with easy to follow examples.

HOT AND SEXY, AND REAL

Thank you Valerie for pointing me in the right direction to write exotica and exciting love scenes, and how to deal effectively with the agents and publishers in the marketplace. This is a very valuable book for writers that are going in the new direction of writing modern novels. The readers and buyers now expect very poignant, romantic, hot and sexy scenes. This book will get you there without being gross or stupid. A good resource for progressive writers. Well done!

How to Write Erotica

This book is very educational and informative. It provides insight on how to write erotica and how to get it published and interesting statistical data on the likelihood of erotica being published in regards to other types of prose and poetry. Ms. Kelly definitely speaks to the matter. Samuel M. Milligan Jr.

Helpful and more...

I bought this book hoping to get a few helpful tips for my first foray into writing. In fact, I got much more than helpful tips. This book discussed topics I hadn't even thought of, gave advise on acquiring an agent and approaching publishers/editors, as well as listing writing styles geared toward different markets within the erotica genre. I found this book helpful and more.

Really EXCELLENT

That's THE book you need to have if you want to write erotica !!! Tips, tools, everything you need to know is in there. Great book, thanks a lot, Valerie ! You're great !

The Best Book On Its Subject

I've read a lot of books on this subject and I have to say that this book is probably the best, although Mike Bailey's 'Teach Yourself Writing Erotica' is excellent as well.Valerie Kelly's book differs from the many other books on the subject, however, as it should really be entitled 'How To Write Porn'. No, I don't mean to demean her work - what I'm trying to say is that all of the other books about writing erotica deal with writing novels only and talks about more literate erotica. Valerie Kelly concentrates more on writing more hardcore short pieces for magazines and is the only book that I have seen that covers this subject.The book is filled with excellent and entertaining examples as well as a lot of common-sense advice presented in a logical and east to read format.The only thing that lets this book down is its age as it is now 16 years old. The information at the start of the book about how magazines are put together seems like something out of the dark ages these days.If the author or publisher ever comes across this, then please consider producing a second edition that is more up-to-date. There's definitely a market for it.
