"Yes, that is the debate I have for myself. I am not worried about agents/editors anymore. I have pitched it and got a sound "literary" vote so I am good there. It may be the battle will be fought with my publisher, who will hopefully see…"

"Thanks for the response regarding indie publishers. It's a lot to consider for a new author, isn't it?
I don't think "erotica" is offputting, just informative. I agree with you that you don't want to…"

"Thanks! I just had a discussion with a friend who thinks I should just be literary and let the reader sort it out as having "erotica" in the title is apparently offputting. I see the point but also have to consider not shocking people who…"

Right now, I'm waiting to hear back from 2 agents who have requested my full manuscript of The Time Minders. I'm still working on Kingdoms of Blood & Magic, but not as diligently as I should, since I've been querying/submitting for the TTM, doing scads of tutoring at my daughters' school and work for our church's youth group. How about YOU?

I don't think "erotica" is offputting, just informative. I agree with you that you don't want to shock people who aren't expecting it. But she makes an interesting point. How much does erotica cross over into literary? How much does any genre, actually? Who would you be "putting off"? The readers/consumers? Or the agents/publishers?

Just looked up Pink Fish Press - very nice site, by the way. I have a question about indie publishers. I just don't know much about them and how they work. Do they compete with the big houses? If they sign you how do they get your work "out there"? Thanks!

Liesl Jurock said… - Thanks for touching base. Great to hear you've got a bunch of things on the go. I just got my first piece published in a book - Chicken soup for the soul: new moms. And I've got another one coming out in May called Torn that we're trying to do lots of promotion for. Very exciting times! How about you - what are you working on these days?

Kelli Swearingen said… - I'm actually in Beavercreek ( the burbs, the Battling Beavers, Go Creek!) but when I enter my zip code, computers always mark it as Dayton. Dayton sounds a little more sophisticated though. I'm not particulary fond of Beavercreek so I don't try to correct it,lol.
