Testimonial from a LitReactor erotica writing student

One of the students who took my sold out LitReactor erotica writing class, LN Bey, who sold the story "Rain Dog" to Laura Antoniou's 2015 Circlet Press anthology No Safewords II - A Marketplace Fan Fiction Collection as part of the classwork, wrote this wonderful testimonial that I wanted to share. If you're interested in finding out more, my next LitReactor 4-week class starts February 12th.
I have no doubt that I am a better writer for taking Rachel’s class—not just a better writer of erotica, but a better writer overall. I initially enrolled primarily for information about the erotica publishing industry. And she provided lots of that, including interviews with publishers and more established writers.

But it was the writing experience itself that was the most beneficial. The lessons themselves were informative and very helpful, and perhaps the most useful thing of all was the discipline of having to conceive, write, and revise a story each week based on those lessons. The assignments forced me to focus—and fast, and I am all the better for it.

As with any learning process, the more you put in, the more you get out of it—and reading the other students’ stories, besides being simple fun (there were some great writers in the class!), compelled me to think more deeply about my own storytelling logic as I analyzed and commented on theirs. It was also fun to get to know these writers, many of whom I am staying in touch with.

Not only was it an enjoyable and transformative experience, but I wrote one story which was accepted into an erotica anthology, and two more that I definitely feel are publishable. I have come out of Rachel’s class a more confident, knowledgeable, and disciplined writer than I was before.
