If you want to learn how to write and sell erotica, you’ll find plenty of books out there to help you do it. It’s the same for any kind of freelance writing job–somebody has already written a book claiming to give you the insider secrets to getting your sexy writing sold.
I’ve always had a big problem with printed books claiming to sell you writer’s market listings because by the time you get to them, so many of those listings are already out of date; the editors have quit or gotten fired, some publications go out of business, or change to a different kind of erotica audience.
If you want to buy a collection of erotica writer’s markets, do it online at the very least. You stand a better chance of getting up-to-date info than from a hard copy book that was printed a year or so ago.
Do you need to buy books that teach you how to be an erotica writer? In some cases yes, but when it comes to finding places to sell your sexy fiction or erotic essays, don’t waste your money buying a book that will be out of date soon anyway. I love online resources like the Adult Markets section of Ralan.com, and I stalk my erotica/sex writing markets the old-fashioned way…track them down, study them carefully, and send them the best steamy stuff possible.
