Let's try this again. Hello Keith. I took the plunge and signed a contract to have my first book published. My genre for this book is Erotica and I would like to connect with other authors in this genre. How would I do that?
Here are two suggestions for connecting with other writers in your genre:
1. Use the ALC’s Author Circle tool
As an ALC member, you have the ability to create an Author Circle for your book project. Just go to your Author Space, set up a new book project, and an Author Circle will automatically be created for that book. Then, you can start inviting both ALC members and even non-members to join your circle. This private forum provides a space where you can ask questions, start discussions, conduct polls, or share your manuscript to get feedback. The ALC will recommend members to invite based on book genre, so be sure to complete these sections of your book project and member profile.You can also use the search bar at the top of the ALC home page and type in "erotica" - the search results will include any resources or members related to this topic.
2. Join a local or online writing group
Writing groups are a great way to connect with like-minded individuals working toward the same goals. You can find groups locally that meet in person, or regional, national, and global groups that meet and communicate online. These writing groups may include more experienced authors that can act as mentors and provide valuable advice. Be sure to join only trusted communities that you can rely on when needed.
Happy writing!
