About Naughty Books
No one was prepared for the success of Fifty Shades of Grey. Originally written in 2010 as a piece of Twilight fan fiction and posted online, it eventually sold over 100 million copies, taking erotica mainstream. But women didn't only read erotica in large numbers; they also wrote it. In the aftermath of Fifty Shades a cottage industry emerged around self-published romance novels. Once women who worked forty-hour-a-week jobs, living paycheck-to-paycheck, many of them are now New York Times bestselling authors with their own merchandise lines and die-hard fans. Naughty Books follows three such women: an Air Force vet, a telemarketer, and a hospital administrator who became millionaires in under a year by using pen names to sell erotica online. They garnered thousands of fans and secured lucrative book deals with major publishing houses by writing about good girls and bad boys finding love and having steamy sex. However, as more and more people saw writing erotic romance as a quick path to money and fame, the market became saturated with hundreds of romance novels published every month, making success difficult to maintain…
Naughty Books will be available to rent on October 13th across digital, cable, and satellite platforms.
My Review
This was an interesting insight into three authors’ lives and a look at the romance industry. I enjoyed seeing the lives of these authors, the highs and the lows. Being an author isn’t always glamorous. This was a real look into the industry, the publishing and marketing. While the main story focused on Kelli Maine, Kristen Proby and CJ Roberts, there were other appearances by other authors and publishers. I thought this documentary was very well done and definitely worth watching!
