In-person writing workshop at a sex club w hot live demo!
Sexuality is a vital aspect of human life, from desire to pleasure, romance to tragedy, politics to power. Yet sex in literature is often treated as an inappropriate obscenity, or worse: cringe!
In defiance of this, join Tina Horn for a workshop on how to use sex to be joyful, horny, and heartbreaking in your writing, whether you’re working on creative fiction, journalism, memoir, entertainment, or simply journaling and letter writing in your personal life.
The workshop will include a one-of-a-kind collaborative exercise where attendees will have a chance to write from a live demo (!!!) and workshop one another’s written responses.
Learn to enjoy the juicy dramatic potential of bodies, methods for illustrating the symbolism of fetishes, and how to develop an erotic prose style all your own. Mystery, world building, concrete detail, abstraction, aesthetics, story structure, character arcs and archetypes, tease and denial, irony, and yup, even penetrating puns are all in play for this one-of-a-kind craft class.
You’ll learn techniques to bring to future projects, get recommendations of great sex writing, and have a chance to participate in a live Q&A. We’ll discuss how to draw from your own experiences, how to use your imagination to experiment, and how to value the erotic elements of your creative life.
Tina’s background ranges from BDSM porn to a Masters in Creative Nonfiction, from zine-making to mainstream political journalism, from university lectures to podcasts and sci-fi comics. Join fwb and Tina for this unique opportunity to cream all over that blank page!
A light lunch will be served along with refreshments.
