Description
Anais Nin wrote, “Sex must be mixed with tears, laughter, words, promises, scenes, jealousy, envy, all the spices of fear, foreign travel, new faces, novels, stories, dreams, fantasies, music, dancing, opium, wine.”
Writing about sex and sexuality is an opportunity to explore the vastness and nuances of the human experience.
In this workshop, we will tackle the craft of erotic writing in order to befriend the taboo, awkward, and arousing. We will practice writing that embraces the unique ways sex invokes this exquisitely messy mixture of embodied experience.
The registration fee for this event is $10. All proceeds of the event go to Upstart & Crow’s non-profit programming, including writer residencies, book clubs, grants and more. Please RSVP here to reserve your spot.
