Is it hot in here, or is it just your writing? Birds do it, bees do it . . . so why is it so hard for writers to do it—or rather, to do it well? Writing about sex, like the very act itself, can be difficult, funny, embarrassing, intense, evocative, compelling, sad, political, boring, mind-blowing, exciting, and exhausting. How much is too much? When is it not enough? What will others think of us? And what about our own self-censors? We will consider these and other perils and joys of getting believable, effective, sometimes beautiful and literary sex scenes on the page. We’ll look at published samples, and cover tips and traps to avoid—starting with the fact that sex in literature is rarely just about the sex at all. Join us for this evening delight! And note—this class is about writing sex scenes in works of fiction and memoir, NOT about writing erotica or porn.

Rated R for Real—all participants must be 18 or older.

You've written a book or you're thinking about writing one, but how do you decide what comes next? Today's authors have more publishing options than ever before, yet many feel overwhelmed by the differences between traditional publishing, hybrid publishing, and self-publishing. In this workshop, author, self-publisher, and publishing company founder Ashequka Lacey provides a practical overview of each publishing path, exploring the benefits, challenges, costs, timelines, and levels of creative control associated with each option. Participants will learn key considerations for evaluating their goals as authors and gain a clearer understanding of which publishing path may be the best fit for their book. Attendees will leave with greater confidence, practical resources, and actionable next steps for moving their writing project forward.
