So I finished my novel! Yeay! All 158,000 words of it! Yeay....! All 158,000 words of half erotica, half romance, lesbian, BDSM style literary fiction. By a first time writer. With no connections.....
Crap.
Well now what?
I am truely sucking at query letters, because this isn't a plot driven novel, or even a sex driven novel, but a character development one, one that moves along via the growth of the two people involved, not outside circumstance. How the hell do you sell that?
*rolls around on floor*
Ideas anyone....?

Status: offline 		Well obviously you've got to direct the reader to the hot girl on girl action that makes this a real page turner....Also touch on the underlying plot of the novel that reveals the  fact that the only reason Mother Mary was a virgin was because she was in actuality a lesbian....And that God, suffering from the same delusions as many men, felt that if he just "tapped" it once, regardless of whether it was consensual or not, would "straighten" her ass out....Mary had a tough time warming up to our Lord and Savior, being that he was a product of rape, and the only reason she visited the crucifix was to extract a chunk of wood that she molded into a "double header" which is currently on display in some museum in Cairo.

The combo of religion, hot lesbo crud and fiction are really hot and an easy sell right now

I hope this helps.

I believe on this site that I have heard subs refer to your manhood on more than one occasion as the "dinner plate."
