When I was 15 and started dating, I would get all gussied up. In those days, girls wore girdles on dates and only the pointiest bra would do. I wasn’t allowed to wear makeup, but I would try to sculpt my eyebrows within an inch of their lives. Basically, I presented the best version of myself I could create.
This same philosophy should be applied to your sex writing career. When you try to get gigs, you need to present your best self. From clips to cover letter to resume, you need to have everything in tip-top shape—unless you plan to self-publish, but that’s another story.
Here’s a handy guide to help you apply for sex writing gigs. Most of these points can be used when you cold email as well:
1. Have a clear vision of what your potential employer wants and how you can fulfill those wants. If they want a fetish writer and the only fetish you’ve written about involves ‘doing it doggy style’ then you, my dear, are not a fetish writer. Don’t assume you can do things you have not done.
2. Understand why you are perfect for the job and tell them. Don’t just state that your sex toy descriptions are the best in the biz, tell them why. Use quantifiable statements, “My description of the Marvel vibrator increased sales by X% in x weeks.”
3. Don’t write an informal and dirty cover letter. Editors and website owners are business people, and those in the sex business have heard it all. Your overtly sexual letter appealing to them for a job is not going to impress them. That being said, a compelling letter with some sophisticated touches of double entendre can work to your advantage. Also, sophisticated double entendre does not include anything like this:
“I am a hard (lol) worker.”
May your gigs get you hard,
