It’s been a challenge to get dirty books up on Apple, partially because their own platform is difficult, but also because they have far stricter limits on what they will and won’t publish. Which can be a good thing since the market is smaller, but also makes it difficult to know what they will and won’t take.
I’m even worried to go into details about what they’ve published vs. what they haven’t, because I don’t want them to know how damn inconsistent they are, or what crazy shit I’ve already gotten away with.
But this week, they rejected both The Yes Rule (that was not a shock) and Driving Lisa (which was a little surprising). I’m a little worried about trying to add Pill X or Caught in the Act, because I don’t want them to get stuck in the filters, especially since Pronoun (who I’ve been using as a distributor) occasionally removes the book from all other retailers if Apple doesn’t like it.
But, still, I’ve managed to get a number of my dirty books live on Apple, which can you see below. If you’re an avid iBooks user, then hopefully you’ll find something there you like. It’s amazing what you can get away with when you don’t have a dirty cover. 😉
