It is our policy that all books placed under this genre must possess the following criteria:
- No explicit titles
- No explicit book covers
- The “Look Inside” feature which is available on Amazon nor the blurb listed on Amazon must give the appearance or illusion that the book is in any way pornographic
- Must meet all other criteria listed below
If the author wishes for their book(s) listed under this genre to be eligible and considered to hold any seat in the RRBC house, such as BOOK OF THE MONTH, SPOTLIGHT AUTHOR, #PUSHTUESDAY, MEMBER OF THE MONTH, etc., then the title must be submitted to our vetting committee at RRBCInfo@gmail.com with CONSIDERATION FOR ALL SUPPORT in the Subject line. Once the title is cleared, a note will be placed alongside the title listing in the catalog. (Any title with the words “erotica” or “erotic” will be placed under this category, regardless of where the author would prefer it to be listed).
RRBC’s definition of EROTICA:
Strictly speaking, stories described as erotica are written about the sexual journey of the characters and how this impacts them as individuals. The important elements of an erotica story are emotion and character growth. The focus is on the characters’ journeys in sexuality, not on the development of the romance. Erotic Romance stories are written about the development of a romance through sexual interaction. Sex is a significant part of the story. Sexy Romance stories are about the development of a romance that just happens to have more explicit sex. So they are standard romances with hotter sex. Books that properly fit these definitions, and do not violate the guidelines listed below, will be listed under the EROTICA & ADULT NOVELS genre.
