The Dreaded Sex Scene: Erotic Writing

This is a single session, three-hour workshop for prose and poetry.

Dates: This workshop will be offered again after I finish a manuscript revision and lecturing at CSUSM.

Writing about sex can be so difficult that some writers just let the lights fade to black or bedroom doors swing shut or, worse, they resort to such tropes as “She clasped his sex” or “She lapped up her muffin.”

We can do better than that—with nouns and verbs that titillate, sensory experiences that inspire literary foreplay, and the confidence to make our readers’ nether regions tingle.

In this workshop we create personal lexicons, explore the erotic through all of our senses, and put our new literary tools to work.

Although this is my most popular workshop, participants typically are quite eager to get home.

The workshop fee can be paid with a credit card via PayPal (you do not need a PayPal account) or with Venmo.

All workshops meet on Zoom. You can download Zoom for free here.
