Ladies and Ladies, please welcome Zoe Brown!
When did you start writing erotic, gender bending books, and what was your inspiration for it?
I’ve always wanted to be a writer, and as a trans female individual I’ve long harbored some pretty intensely erotic TG fantasies, many of which have been with me since I was old enough to have sexual fantasies.
I first encountered online TG fiction via Fictionmania when I was nineteen and away at college, and when I later discovered that self-publishing erotica on Amazon was something that people were doing and making a tidy living doing it, I started toying with the idea that I could potentially do the same. Six years ago, I finally took the plunge.
How would you describe the niche and themes of your work? You clearly enjoy more magical reality?
Well, as a trans woman myself, I tend not to find stories about ‘real-life’ TG scenarios and ‘sissies’ and ‘Futas’ very sexually exciting–I mean, I live in that world every day.
I often describe the sorts of stories I write as ‘Sexy Cinderella stories for Trans Women (and ‘Eggs’)’, focusing on providing girls like me with the sorts of fantasies that appeal to us: pills that could transform us into hyper-beautiful supermodels relatively instantaneously, or futuristic ‘bodysuits’ or ‘skin suits’ that could do the same, magical spells and curses, things of that nature, all set within stories where we can achieve the sorts of transition results and lives that most of us can only DREAM about in the real world. I also like incorporating bits of fantasy and sci-fi adventure into my stories where that is possible.
What was the first book that you wrote?
I think it was the short-story version of Addicted to Womanhood.
What are your favourite stories to write?
Stories involving seemingly normal young men who begin to experiment (on a repeated, part-time basis) with some form of advanced gender-bending that turns them into gorgeous young women on a limited, part-time basis at first, only for them to quickly discover that they really love being women, and to pursue some means of staying that way permanently. Usually there’s some romantic subplot mixed in, often with a former (male) best friend from their old life or new female friend. My absolute favorite stories also contain an action/adventure sci-fi/fantasy/litrpg plot mixed in with the TG elements.
What is your favorite book or series that you have written?
Mmmm, that’s difficult. I suppose Doin’ It For the Gram is the story I think comes closest to my ideal short, fun TG erotic story (which is ironic, because it’s novel-length), but I really enjoy the created world in the Maiden Fair series and I’m looking forward to taking that story further, and I quite like the way the Prom Date series is shaping up, and so on.

Who do you think are your biggest fans, your core readership? How would you describe them?
Fans of detailed ‘TGTF’ (transgender transformation) erotica and people who are really into transgender themes and characters–and voluntary transformations into female forms–are my core audience, for sure.

Unlike many erotic authors, you also write multi-part stories too. What’s the feedback and how do readers respond to this?
Uhhhh, they hate it. Heh. Seriously, I constantly get feedback from people who HATE how many parts it takes for me to tell a story, and the number one complaint I get from reviewers is how ‘long’ and ‘wordy’ my stories are, but I can’t seem to help it. Short stories are just not in my repertoire.
What makes your heart race as a reader, and also a writer?
I really enjoy a well-written TG transformation sequence, of course, but I also really enjoy snappy dialogue and well-written bits of internal self-reflection.
What is your best selling book, and do you know why it sells so well?
Fated to Be Female (Part One) is far and away my best-selling title, and I think that has mostly to do with a trend that I’ve noticed among fans of TG erotica in that they seem to prefer stories in which the main character is forced to become a woman by some external force or actor, cannot resist it, but does not (initially) embrace it. The more reluctant and compulsory a character’s transformation is into a woman to begin with, the more the majority of readers seem to enjoy it.
How do you keep your ideas and stories fresh?
Well, I have it somewhat easy in this regard in that I accept a lot of commissions from people who want me to write some stories for them, so I don’t always have to supply all the ideas myself, but also I visit a lot of TG Transformation-related roleplay sites and forums and captioned image websites and subreddits and look at other peoples’ fantasy scenarios and roleplay requests and often get inspired to riff off of those ideas with new fantasy scenarios of my own, I watch romance and ‘rom-com’ and ‘rom-dram’ movies and try to re-imagine the stories from a TG Transformation angle and get inspired with new takes on a lot of those old tried and tested plots, I even watch movie videos put out by female pop stars from around the world and come up with fantasies based on the ‘scenarios’ presented in those (even if I have to make up for myself what I think those are because I don’t understand the language the video is in.) I have a list of over a hundred fantasy scenarios that I would like to get around to writing some day, if I can.
Do you have a writing routine?
Every day I get up at 8 am and stagger out to the computer and work until 5 pm in the afternoon. I aim to write about five thousand words a day. Sometimes I get distracted by e-mails or bills or housekeeping/maintenance issues in my apartment, sometimes I get stuck on a word or sentence or paragraph and have to smash monsters in a video game for a little while until my brain unlocks the next word I need to continue the story, and sometimes I can only produce a few hundred or a thousand words in total, but I’m there almost every single day unless I have to run errands or something.
What’s the secret to a strong title and great cover art?
Cover Art: Make It Sexy in the specific way that your audience is looking for. Whatever turns a prospective reader on is something they will pick-up and read. I always aim to show (as best as I can given my limited graphic art skills) an image of a man turning into a hot and sexy young woman, and it seems to work well for me.
Title: Keep it Short and Sweet. Think movie titles. Go for an immediate impact: ‘I, Werewoman,’ ‘Prom Date,’ ‘The Werewoman Experience.’ Then your subtitle can be as long as it needs to be (up to Amazon’s limit) to convey the important story elements that your readers want to see.
Do you enjoy hearing from readers?
Yes, absolutely. Unless they’re spam e-mailing me over and over again asking when the next installment in a given series will be out. Please don’t do that.
What has been the high point of your career?
There was a brief period after Fated to Be Female (Part One) came out in which my monthly earnings nearly topped $2000 dollars a month. I’ve never done so well before or since.
Which authors inspire you?
Lindsay Sands, Laurel K. Hamilton, Mark McDonald with his ‘Skin Deep’ bodysuit series from the old Fictionmania TG Fiction site, Morpheus with his Ovid series. J.R.R. Tolkien was the formative material that I read over and over again when I was a kid, along with a bunch of Star Wars and Star Trek novels.
How much of your work is based on personal experience versus fantasy?
A lot of the mental and emotional character development that characters in my stories undergo is based on either my own mental and emotional experiences of being a trans person raised by a hyper-conservative family or the experiences of other trans people from different backgrounds.
Do your friends and family know that you are an erotic author? If so, how did they react when they found out?
My family and I parted ways a few decades ago over my trans-ness, so that’s not really relevant, but my partner knows and she has been supportive and encouraging of my career from the get-go.
What mistakes have you made in your career that others could avoid?
I have a bad habit of getting really worked up and stressed out about writing every so often and overextending myself trying to get this story done within a certain time period or getting that story edited by such-and-such date and then burning out for a couple of months during which writing feels like an unproductive daily slog without much reward or sign of progress, before the writing juices really begin to flow again, and that’s very frustrating and self-defeating. I’m trying to build more brakes into my process so that when I start to feel myself overextending like that I can take a day off or two and do something else–read some books or play some video games or eat a lot of fun foods or something until the stress abates and I can continue again. Repeat burn-out has been the single greatest roadblock for me in building momentum towards making a sustainable income out of this.
What’s the best thing about writing erotica for you?
It’s fun! For the most part. I really enjoy what I do (and I get off on most of what I write), which makes it easy to get up and go back to the computer every morning, even when I’m dealing with burnout.
What advice would you offer a writer who wants to embark on a successful erotica career?
Try not to take on too many things at once just as you’re getting started. A writing career isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon.
