Dark and Forbidden Erotica

Writing Services

Writing Services

Erotica is a taboo subject these days. When it isn't being dismissed as poorly-written parody, it's being attacked as degrading smut. There was a time when that wasn't true, when literary erotica was considered a bold and transgressive form of art. From D.H. Lawrence to Anais Nin, from Erica Jong to Philip Roth, sexual fantasy and liberation were celebrated rather than shunned. Dreadful Desire is a return to that vintage form, and, in that spirit, my writing services are always available, whether it's professional proofreading and editing, formatting a manuscript for digital publication on Kindle, Smashwords, or Google Books, or for writing commissioned fiction.

Proofreading & Editing

Professional content editing goes beyond checking spelling and punctuation, and erotic writing presents its own unique challenges. I offer three tiers of service: proofreading with an eye on the grammar; copy editing that offers a deeper focus on the tone; and content editing for a thorough analysis of the story.
  • Basic Proofreading is $5.00 per 1,000 words
  • Copy Editing is $10.00 per 1,000 words
  • Content Editing is $15.00 per 1,000 words

Kindle & eBook formatting

Every online retailer has its own arcane rules when it comes to publishing eBooks. I'm happy to convert your story into a compatible manuscript, whether it's for Kindle, Smashwords, or Google Books, and I can help avoid the dreaded Amazon Dungeon. Available formats include PDF, DOCX, EPUB, and KPF, and I can provide a royalty-free image similar to my own covers.
  • Manuscript conversion is $15.00 per retailer
  • Separate cover image is an additional $15.00

Commissioned Fiction

Erotica is all about exploring our sexuality, and it's an honor to be able to share my fantasies and help others discover theirs. As a commissioned ghostwriter, I offer complete anonymity and will work with you to bring your fantasy to life on the page. Commissions come with two tiers of service: limited exclusivity for six months and complete client ownership of the story.
  • Limited-exclusive stories are $0.05 per word
  • Fully owned stories are $0.15 per word
