About

WHO? Brown Skin Books authors must be women of colour and over 18. WHAT? Erotic fiction (novels, short stories but no poetry, please) and erotic crime thrillers. The novels/stories will be sensual, sexy and erotic, but not sleazy. They will need to be driven by plot and character—i.e. they need to have a ‘good story’ and strong, intriguing characters. The books may well have serious, thought-provoking, innovative or controversial points to make about life, sex, sexuality, desire etc, but humour could also be an important element. The aim of the series is to explore various aspects of black female sexuality in a way that our readers will find interesting, possibly informative, but, at the same time, entertaining. Erotic novels should be between 75,000 and 90,000 words. Short stories should be between 6,000 and 10,000 words.
