"The Adventures Of An Unlikely Gigolo" free copies, feedback, etc
That's the name of my recent short book on Amazon. It covers my unlikely experience as a male escort for a few years and advice for men as to how they can become better lovers based on some of my experiences and other information. The few friends who know about that had encouraged the story, and it was my idea to add some advice for men who may benefit from it. It's meant to be a short fun read and hopefully useful advice for the many, usually younger, guys who may lack experience sexually. I did my best not to use over the top cheesy sales lingo like "get any woman you want into bed with these amazing tips" type bullshit in the sales section, but you won't sell any books if you don't at least try to make it sound compelling to your target audience. Hopefully I struck the balance.
It's obviously directed at men, but I don't think women will find any of the advice objectionable or terrible, but it is my take on the topic so being of a subjective nature, not all may agree with some of my advice. I'll give away three copies to first three that PM me with an email for some feedback and or a review.
Two, I'm a newbie to this. Are there some specific web sites that focus on this type of publication, sexual advice and so forth, you all in the industry would recommend I submit it for a review you'd recommend?
Here's the book on Amazon for Kindle:
PS: Anybody can read Kindle books—even without a Kindle device, and free kindle reading app can be downloaded at link above also.

I think the real question here is: How the hell does an American woman find a paid male escort? Please write that book next!
If you are already selling the book, it's a little late to have beta readers critique your work. Hit me up on your next book. I'm always looking for folks to join my internet critique circle. :)

I didn't work in the US, so can't write that one! I'd think the members here would know. For me, it was an unlikely transformation to paid sex worker and not something I had intentionally set out to do. What's your requirements for a paid male escort?

Getting reviews and suggestions on places to get reviews is pretty common for an new existing book.

Hey Tourdefranzia and ThatGuy, I'd love to trade reads/critiques. I've got a ~10,000 word guide to stripping that I plan to release as an ebook pretty soon. Would love to have some beta readers. And I'm happy to return the favor. That goes for anyone on these forums. PM me!

I'd be happy to, but I wouldn't be able to give feedback on your advice never having been a dancer. It would be a non dancer male POV. I can read it for other things of course, but wont be able to say if the advice it's is good or bad as a guide to being a stripper.

I'd still welcome your perspective, especially since you've worked in the sex industry. PMing you now.

Hey,
I had a chance to read your book this weekend. It was a pleasant surprise as I had assumed it would just be a “how-to” manual, the fact that it wound up being interesting story was a big plus. Some parts were very funny. Your sudden realization that you were a sex worker made me LOL.
Your discussion on the male ego was pretty accurate. I honestly think women might learn a thing or two about men from your guide, but at the very least, I don’t think they will find your advice objectionable. Your experiences which led to your advice will definitely be of use to a lot of guys who are interested in improving their “game” in bed.
There are some grammatical errors and other minor issues I found, but other than that, it was an enjoyable read that could probably benefit a lot of guys. Thank you for the chance to read it and hope it works out well for you.

Here's a review added to Amazon:
"Great short book. Teaches a valuable lesson about sexual interactions and how to PROPERLY do it as a man. The personal experience of the author adds to the credibility of what he discusses in his book. Wish is was longer! :) "
Interestingly, Winged Dinghy (who's review I'm hoping to see any day now..,hint hint...) felt it was a tad too long.
As always, you can't please everyone no matter how you tried. I didn't start with any length in mind, I just started writing and stopped when I felt I had covered the important points adequately.

What I don't understand Will is how you were ever a gigolo?

And why are you as Will 'thanking' people for replies to your thread using this new name. Which is against the rules by the way.
