[Selling]: 36,000 word Romance/Erotic Work

Hey guys! Looking to sell a work that I wrote over a few weeks. It's in the romance/erotica genre.

Title: The Price of Lust

Size: just over 36,000 words.

Maddie is a well-established, high-end escort with a taste for the finer things in life. She follows a strict set of rules and guidelines to keep herself safe and out of the hands of those who would cause her harm, or worse, put her in jail. She hunts her clients like a predator stalks its prey, but finally, one manages to make it through the web she has spun to keep herself protected. Now, she's forced to make a decision: Does she stick with the life that she's built or does she indulge the other life she craves, one of stability and safety without having to sell herself.

Upon purchasing, you will obtain all the rights here and forever. They will be signed over to you and
if anyone asks me about this work, I will tell them that I know not a thing about it. This work was written 100% by a human (me). The work has been formatted and edited, though it is wise to always give it a once-over before publishing.

I prefer payments over Zelle (wells fargo is my bank and it's free for them).

For a sample chapter, please DM me here and I will be happy to send you the first chapter for you to review.

[SELLING] Custom erotica, just for you

Hi, I'm a college student looking to make a few bucks, by writing about a few fucks (sorry, I had to).

Here are a few stuff to know if you will consider my services:

I accept payment mainly through PayPal

My rate is $0.02/word (base starts at 1000 words)

No kink is off the table; but stories that involve specific fandoms/anything that needs researching is up for consideration on my part (I make the effort to open the wiki and do ample research, so if the pay doesn't justify the effort, then I apologize in advance)

Stories involving real people are welcome, but please provide enough description about the said person to help me out

I cannot promise a 24-hour delivery, but I always provide updates to my clients about the status of their commission (when I start, when I'm halfway, when I end)

I have had a few reddit users commission me in the past. I took a hiatus for mental health reasons, and now I'm looking to get into it again. Feel free to message me if you're interested. And thank you in advance!

How it works - Please read before posting.

General rules:

  • Use the tags [BUYING] or [SELLING] in your title.
  • You are allowed to buy or sell just about anything in the creative process. That includes: fully written or partial manuscripts, outlines, fully produced but unpublished books / series, fully produced and published books / series you no longer want, ghostwriting services
  • You are not allowed to buy or sell peripheral services unrelated to what we're doing here. That includes: editing, proofing, formatting, cover design, marketing services, etc
  • Please do not try to get anyone here to buy a copy of your book as though they are a reader. We're not your target audience.

Examples of why you would use this subreddit:

  • You wrote a book, produced it, and it does not sell. You have no idea how to market a novel. Perhaps you now know you enjoy writing more than marketing. Sell your finished product (which would include 100% of royalties and all rights) to someone who knows how to market and wants more projects.
  • You have an established author brand that needs more content. Buy manuscripts from other writers or ghostwriters and grow your brand exponentially faster than if you wrote all the content yourself.
  • You make excellent series outlines but never sit down to make the whole novels. Sell those outlines!
  • You are a ghostwriter looking for more work.
  • You have a manuscript but have no idea how to produce it. You can learn the ins and outs of producing a novel (check out the /r/selfpublish wiki), or you could sell the manuscript to someone else and then get working on the next manuscript.

A word on pricing:

  • Buyers and sellers have to negotiate deals themselves. There is no set price. Quality (obviously) varies quite a lot from one writer to the next. So does budget. If you're looking for a certain price range, tell us in your post. Be straightforward and open about it.
