Great article Emily. I am curious but haven't bought it YET. I did have a skim through recently at a bookstore. One only has to read a few pages to realise it's not the most flawless prose and that the author is not the most talented writer. I do write erotic fiction myself, so from a sales/marketing perspective - I am interested.

What annoys me is non readers who have only read the likes of cosmo - are picking it up now and promoting on FB. Does reading 50 shades make you cool now? I guess it's at least got them reading. :-)

Hi Vanessa,
Great to hear from you. You're right, the writing itself isn't great - but if it was written to generate revenue then no one can argue it is a success! Hmm I wonder if any reading is good reading, or if some quality control is needed?! ;)
