Why has erotica been so popular throughout the last 400 years? What makes an erotic story compelling? How do you take your hottest fantasies and turn them into art that readers will devour?

Brian Palmer’s erotica workshop explores structure and strategy in the art of erotica to help workshop-goers learn to tell a compelling, sexy story that will delight and titillate readers.

Learn the four essential story beats to an erotic story, how to create tension that will keep readers hooked on the page and, for those hoping to publish erotic stories, how to find your audience by identifying the key marketing elements of any story. Students will leave the workshop ready to write their first stories and market them effectively to a target audience.

Brian Palmer is an independent author and ghostwriter who has written nearly 100 novels and over 30 short stories in the erotica, romance, fantasy, cozy mystery and domestic thriller genres. The only thing he loves more than writing for a living is teaching others to access their creativity and bring their stories to life.
