What is “Erotic Fiction”?
The goal of erotic fiction is first and foremost to deliver a well-crafted story. Erotic fiction may contain or reflect multiple genres and themes (ie: historical, paranormal, LGBTQ, BDSM culture, polyamory, contemporary, romance); however, for erotic fiction, the erotic element is the *primary* defining genre of the work.

Join us for Metaphor, Word Choice, and Thesaurus Wrangling on September 30th at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT. This workshop is $10 for members and $20 for non-members.
You’ve read the books on writing, attended the workshops on crafting, and learned the value of trimming excess words and simplifying descriptions. This workshop takes that knowledge further.
Join Megan Landon as she applies common writing tips to craft prose that enhances our stories, rather than distracts from them. Together, we’ll practice creating evocative metaphors and wringing specificity from our thesauruses to strengthen character, atmosphere, and voice.
This workshop is $10 for members; $20 for non-members.
