From Lit. to the Ritz

[sr71plt]

Thought those wondering about e-booking erotica might be interested in this story about how one of Literotica's own, Selena Kitt, is reported as doing in the business. (Almost makes me feel like eXcessica doesn't need the support money I give it by not taking any profit off my own eXcessica titles).

So, no one's interested in a report on a Lit. author moving from free stories to a six-figure income? Hmmmmm.

Way to go Selena! Not surprising. Talent and imagination like hers is a rare thing.

I am! Selena is GOOD at what she writes. She really is. I don't have to congratulate her on her luck or anything. She is, truly a talent.

And you know-- if I could be half as good-- I might make a quarter as much as she does right now-- and that would make a difference in my life...

No, we're all interested. We're just trying to work out how to say "Congratulations Selena" through gritted teeth.

Seriously, I think Selena is great. She has sent me some nice comments privately and seeing now how successful she is this shows her human side - but I guess her writing does that well enough anyway.

It couldn't happen to a nicer lady.

$238k for the first quarter? You rock, Selena! Well done!

That's pretty cool. I'm jealous! Are those figures for all Excessica titles, or just Selena Kitt's work? If it's just her stuff, I need to drop my publisher and go it alone!

 

[JackLuis]

Makes me want to read her stuff.

Way to Go Salena!

She said she'd help any of us who wanted to go direct to e-pub on our own. At lease she offered to help me. Since I don't think I'm anybear special, I presume the offer is good for all her lit fans. It's not like we are much competition.

It's been a while since I've been here... but I wanted to clarify. Those numbers were mine alone, not Excessica's. But they were mostly a result of Amazon banning my books. Everyone went over to B&N and started buying like crazy and it coincided with the xmas Nook buying. I don't think I'll see crazy numbers like that again!

But thanks for the congrats. We're buying a house and trying to get things a little more stable for our old age.

That's great, Selena. No need to be embarrassed or to justify.

Thanks a lot for posting this!

Have only just seen this, but how awesome!

There you go!

You can be good and make money, or you can write crap and collect plastic affirmative-action trophies.

Selena shows the way.

I can't decide if I should take my lunch to work, or the bus.

It's that kind of dilemma.
