Publisher for Tickle Novels needed!

[Haltickling]

To all TMF members: I'm looking for a publisher to bring out my tickle novels in America. Maybe there's a publisher of erotic novels among you, or some of you may know such a person. Any hint or help would be greatly appreciated.

The material: two full-size tickle-erotic novels, one of them M/F + F/M (ca. 180 pages), the other one pure F/F (science fiction, about 120 pages). In addition I wrote a Tickling Encyclopedia and several short stories.

The publisher should have experience in erotic books, along with the necessary connections to adult book shops (or equivalent distributors). I'm quite sure that at least half of the clientele would come through the TMF, so one of the main marketing platforms is cost-free and rather uncomplicated.

MTJPub can't and won't do this; erotic literature is not in their line of work. I discussed this at length with Morandilas. So your help would be deeply appreciated, maybe even rewarded materially if a success follows. I'm not interested in making a bunch of money from this, instead I want to make my material accessible to all of you who are interested. The books are much too long to post them here in the TMF. I can't publish them myself for various reasons; the most important of them is my location in Germany, many thousand miles away from my main clientele, the mailing expenses driving the price up too high. Thanks! 😎

Hal,

I don't know much about the industry, but perhaps you could look into the publisher of the Sleeping Beauty trilogy by Anne Rice, perhaps her publisher would be interested.

Hey! Aren't there any enterprising tickling entrepreneurs out there?

I cannot help but come to the aid of a fellow writer who is asking
for aid from TMF habitues who either are familiar with erotic publishing and/or are looking for, what I think, is a surefire way to
both make a buck and make tickle literature history with one bold venture.

Hal has been generous enough to share his two splendid novels with me.
One is an intriguing and detailed tale of a Las Vegas tickling club--
a setting quite simply the delicious wish-fulfillment of many a ticklephile. The other is a utopian sf exploration so steamy it made
my eyeglasses fog up innumerable times--and I'm supposed to one of the
jaded old fogies in this Forum. It details a society of women on an
alien world where tickling is not merely a hobby, but all at once a religion, the law, and a way to make very close friends real fast and firm.

Both books are not only as eloquently erotic as fiction can be, but
between them, they offer such a range of ingenious tickling situations
that as tickle primers alone they're invaluable. I kid you not: these are (ahem) seminal works in the (ah) growing tickle fiction canon.
They deserve to be published in material editions, and to be distributed not just to us ticklephiles, but to all aficionadoes
of erotic literature.

I also will shout to the housetops the quality of Hal's research, experience, and prose in his TICKLE ENCYCOLPEDIA, the text of which
would probably engage so many Forum members for so long that they'd
be offline for many pleasurable hours--and return to eagerly discuss
online here the book for hours after that. Again, this would be a find for an enterprising and adventuresome publisher.

So, how 'bout it, gang? Can't anyone lend Hal a hand? (Don't lend
him a foot. He'd impulsively tickle it...)
