Hello and Welcome to Publish and Be Damned
The exclamation ‘Publish and Be Damned’ was first attributed to the Duke of Wellington who is said to have exclaimed it when the courtesan Harriette Wilson, his lover, threatened to publish her memoirs and his letters
Publish and Be Damned is a group blog for erotica writers to get together and discuss their work, how they write and what inspires them. We will be posting monthly discussions on a broad range of topics surrounding erotica.
Each of the writers participating in this virtual writer’s group has written and published a wide variety of erotica – from fantasy and paranormal, to sci-fi and romantica. We hope that the broad scope of our experiences will make for lively debate and entertaining reading.
Whether you are a reader or a writer, please feel free to join in the discussion through the comments and let us know what you think.
The first discussion – and a way for each of the writers to introduce themselves – is: The First Bite of the Fruit: What was the first piece of erotic fiction you ever read, and how did you start writing it?
This is a fantastic group of writers. I’m really looking forward to reading the discussions from this gathering.
