Writing the erotic as a radical act of resistance: experiences, insights, musings, questions
In this thirty-minute workshop, Amanda Earl will take you behind the scenes of her erotic writing with excerpts and a discussion of techniques to help you craft effective and provocative texts, and to consider how you can work through your own vulnerabilities and experiences to write about sex. The workshop will contain graphic language and convention-defying themes, such as dominance and submission, kink and fetishes, consensual non consent, and non-monogamy. Erotica novelist, Lisabet Sarai has described Earl's stories as gorgeous, transgressive, and intense.
All participants will receive the notes, which include tips, prompts and resources for those who wish to write erotic texts. In additional, participants will receive a Google doc with Amanda’s ever-expanding list of resources for creators of poetry, prose and visual poetry.
