From Tori Ross, the National Indie Excellence Award winner for The Cuffing Season Contract, comes a non-fiction account of her first year of writing erotica on the side.After an injury left her sidelined from her job, Tori Ross thought writing romance would be a lucrative career choice. But when the money going out for production costs, covers, editing, and promotion was more than what was coming in, she needed a way to help cover bills and buy food.Reluctantly, she said she would write erotica for one year to see if a genre in a level playing field that doesn’t allow ads and heavy promotion would be more lucrative.In her first non-fiction foray, Ross explains how she ended up with a career she loves, even if she made thirty-five cents her first month writing erotica.Chapters cover:-How she started.-Picking a niche.-Coming up with a pen name.-Bundling and pricing.-Her surprise at reader shame and the Christmas boost.-Reactions from her friends.-Earnings and production costs.-The loneliness of not having coworkers you can talk to about what you write.Written with self-deprecating humor, Ross barrels through what it’s really like to be one of the very real humans that write the sleazy shorts we all won’t admit to reading.
