Episode 453: Crafting Steamy Stories with Writer G Charles, Journalism to Erotica. Today, I'm thrilled to be discussing writing erotic fiction with erotica author, G. Charles. We dive into a discussion of writing about sex, sexuality, and the art of writing about romance and relationships. G. Charles, who was influenced by the erotic novels starting in the 1970s, studied short story writing in university. He began writing erotic fiction in 2009, publishing through the small press Breathless Press. After its closure, he turned to crime thrillers and resumed writing erotica on Medium in 2019, amassing over 700 stories. You can find G. Charles on Medium, Substack, and Twitter. In this episode, I read an excerpt from G. Charles' story, "The Towel," which can be found in full on Medium at the link below, and then dive into an insightful interview with him. We discuss his journey, writing process, and the nuances of crafting erotic fiction, as well as the differences between writing platforms. We also discussed the following topics:  Writing and popularity of Age Gap Romances, Character Development, Writing Platforms, Self-Publishing, Digital Writing, writing on Medium and Substack, publishing and the payment processors restricting erotic/sexuality content and thereby causing censorship of many author's voices and works. Readers may need to dig deep and should communicate their desire for erotica content to online sellers so they can help reduce the censorship that goes on.
