We invite Australian and international authors to try their hand at writing us an erotic fiction tale that will get our judges’ hearts beating faster with anticipation…
This is a tricky genre to write in but some of the world’s great literary masters have turned their hand to writing erotica (often under a pseudonym) recognising that engendering an emotional response is what fictional writing is all about — whether it be horror, romance, mystery, thrillers etc. Achieving an emotional response from a reader is what all writers seek. Erotica is no different. We have over $1000 in the award pool to encourage you. 1800 words or fewer
