EREC – Erotic Romance E-Publisher Comparison
An industry blog and forum, plus a publisher comparison list that includes not only information submitted by publishers, but comparisons of sales and royalties sent in by authors. THE place to start learning about erotic romance.
Dear Author
A romance blog that includes industry news as well as book reviews. Its definition of “industry” includes erotic romance and ebooks. A must-watch site–and damn fun, too.
Smart Bitches, Trashy Books
Another romance blog with industry news and commentary. Also a rich source of book reviews, book snark, and horrible, horrible covers. Irreverent and fond of rolling about in its own glorious trashiness.
Erotic Romance Publishers
There are dozens upon dozens of erotic romance publishers, with new ones appearing all the time. The market is volatile; one or two respected presses fall every year, often amid tears and drama and cross-accusations. I will try to list only the presses with decent sales and a low level of ongoing wank, but since this could change in a minute, do your research before you choose any press on this list.
Piers Anthony’s Internet Publishing
Piers Anthony keeps a list of data about e-publishers: what they specialize in, reported sales figures, what the terms of the contracts are, any warning signs or scandals. The list is well respected and updated frequently.
Preditors & Editors, Writer Beware
