Steven Hart
Steven Hart believes erotica is the central metaphor of human imagination. He holds that criticism exists to efficiently disclose and enhance the experience of art.
Hart has published criticism in a wide range of national and international publications including "Theatre Journal" for which he served a term as the Review Editor. Some of his work has been translated for publication in Poland where he has been a guest scholar. He has published and edited many scholarly works on the theatre. As Senior Critic for “The Villager”, he lead the effort to create a superior critical outlet for new works in one of the oldest weeklies in NYC. He reviewed theatre, fiction and nonfiction books, as well as performance art for the paper.
He conducted funded research with the United Nations on the role of the arts in prisons and served as the dramaturg and historian for The Family, Incorporated, a theatre company composed of black and Hispanic former prison inmates.
From 1992-98 he was the dramaturg and theatre historian for the University of South Carolina MFA Program affiliated with The Shakespeare Theatre under the direction of Michael Kahn. He was a founding member of LMDA, the National Association for Literary Managers and Dramaturgs in the United States.
His erotica has been extensively published by The Erotica Readers and Writers Association as well as in two volumes of Maxim Jakubowski’s Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica and Cream, edited for ERWA by Lisabet Sarai.
In 2003, he was honored for Special Achievement as an alumnus of the PhD Program in Theatre at the City University Graduate Center, New York.
Ashley Lister
My name is Ashley Lister and I'm the author of more than thirty erotic novels, countless erotic short stories (and sex-related articles) and the author of the non-fiction title Swingers. I'm a regular columnist and reviewer for the Erotica Readers & Writers
Association and I have a lovely smile.
I live in the north west of the UK, I'm currently studying English Language and Literature as a (physically) mature student and I enjoy reading and reviewing well-crafted erotica.
Jean Roberta
Jean Roberta teaches mandatory first-year English classes in a Canadian prairie university and writes in several genres. Over fifty of her erotic stories have appeared in print anthologies such as the annual Best Lesbian Erotica (2000-01 and every year since 2004) and Best Women's Erotica (2000, 2003, 2005, 2006) from Cleis Press, two "Wicked Words" anthologies (Volumes 3 and 8) from Black Lace, several lesbian anthologies from Alyson Press (Up All Night, First-Timers, The Good Parts), Trans Figures and Hard Road, Easy Riding from Harrington Park Press and Stirring Up a Storm from Thunder's Mouth Press (which also includes stories by Margaret Atwood and Joyce Carol Oates). Her stories have appeared in print journals and on websites such as "Ruthie's Club," "Fresh Off the Vine" (e-zine of Torquere Press) and "Sliptongue."
Her reviews, opinion pieces and research-based articles have appeared in The Gay and Lesbian Review, Girlfriends, newsletter-style erotic journal Batteries Not Included and on websites including "Clean Sheets," "The Dominant's View," "Girlphoria," "The Shadow Sacrament," "TCM Reviews," and the websites of the Erotic Authors Association, the Erotic Readers and Writers Association, and various publishers. From December 2003 to August 2005 she had a monthly non-fiction column, "In My Jeans," on the website "Blue Food" until the editor removed all columns due to lack of time. She has found one of her reviews used anonymously as advertising material, which is flattering although illegal.
Her talk on the history of erotica and censorship has appeared as an article ("Clever Curll and Other Culprits") in various print venues, and is available on request. In January 2007, her talk on the classic 1928 lesbian (or FTM) novel The Well of Loneliness was the first presentation in a new faculty-driven Queer Initiative. She has dabbled in erotic filmmaking by making a film of under 5 minutes based on her story about an Amazon warrior, "War Story," which appeared in On Our Backs magazine and then in the print anthology On Our Backs 2 from Alyson. Her own website is a work in progress.
