Erotica is Hot in More Ways Than One
Books for Sale by Cote Creative Commons
Publisher's Weekly has an article about the new mainstreaming of Erotica including the news that Pocket books has optioned 39 more books from epublisher Ellora's Cave.
The most interesting point in the article is the fact these authors are removing the stigma from epublishing by producing successful, good quality books. The perception had been that you epubbed because you couldn't get into a print house - which may be correct, but not for reasons of quality.
The paper side of the business is risk adverse, so they catch on to new trends through small presses and others willing to take the risk.
Low risk doesn't seem to be working so well for big publishing. Is it time for a new methodology? What should it look like? Should there still be personality driven imprints around one person's reading taste? God forbid they should have focus groups. What can save publishing today for authors and companies?

Speaking of Epublishing: Harlequin Starts New Ebook Line
Harlequins's profits are up and their first foray into standard romantic ebooks has been doing so well, they are starting a new line called Spice Briefs.
Spice Briefs will feature erotic stories between 5,000 and 15,000 words. You can get them for 99 cents until August 15, but after that they'll be $2.99. Harlequin also plan to start releasing an ebook version of every book they're hard publishing.
Book Catcher has more info on what they are looking for in the Spicy shorts, straight from Spice Brief's editor Susan Swinwood. Harlequin also has an exclusively ebook line. It looks like an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a new market. Romance author Sunny lists contact info for Susan Swinwood and other editors seeking submissions on her website.
