Launched in 2007, Xcite Books has grown to become one of the UK’s leading publisher of erotic fiction, producing a new print collection of short stories every month. The company has won the ETO Best Erotic Book Brand and Jade Erotic Awards: Best Erotic Publisher. It was also shortlisted for an innovation award in the publishing industry’s equivalent of the Oscars, The Bookseller Awards. Its books are widely stocked by High Street chains Ann Summers, WH Smith Travel and the Simply Pleasures chain among others. They have been recommended by sex therapists for their wide-ranging appeal and non-degrading content that makes women feel sexually empowered. They have even been featured on The Alan Titchmarsh Show on ITV1 – twice!
