Launch of My Erotic Books
I am Priscilla Riofrio, a writer, living in Guayaquil, Ecuador, with my husband and daughter.
I have been writing for longer than I remember. Most all of my adult writing has been to my past lovers or to my blog http://pitonizza.com
You'll see that all of my writing has been in Spanish. I am only an intermediate English speaker; I don't know it well enough to write in it - here, my gringo husband is helping me write my proposal. But, I want to publish in English.
I've written some erotica -- two complete books and a report - all totalling to approximately 300 pages and 160,000 words. They are in draft form now, waiting for their next steps.
The books are:
- a 40-page report including sexual positions and ideas to keep your sex life strong, "Pitonizza's Love Making Techniques"
- a 130 page novel, "Búsquedas Distintas" (does not translate well to English), my first "official" novel with 25 chapters, describing a love story that interweaves between four characters: two beautiful seductive artists and two suitors; all with different ways and looking for different dreams.
- "Tales of Love and Sex" is a compilation of stories I've written over the last several years. They are a sort of autobiography with shell fragments of my experiences and fantasies.
The money I am asking for is to pay for these next steps: proof-reading, editing, some re-writes, translation to English, layout (for kindle, soft and hard cover), cover photography and cover design.
I want it all done professionally. I consider my writing to be first-rate; I want the translation, layout and design to be excellent as well.
I will need all these funds before I can publish. In that the writing is done, there is no need to wait.
I want to publish these books in that I am proud of what I have written. I have gone through these books over and over again, writing and re-writing them. I think that they are now all highly polished gems that need to be set and shown to the world.
Gofundme suggests here that I write how thankful I will be to get this funded. Actually, I'll be more "turned on" than I will be thankful!
I guess I feel a little vulnerable when I write erotically. But that feeling gets a strong dash of arousal when I am appreciated for it, and when I sense that I am reaching and arousing others with my writing.
So, every donation is going to make me a little more wet!
Also, you will see that I have campaiagn levels that parallel the cycle of arousal...
I'm looking forward to this campaign unfolding...
