Summer Sweat Series: Queer Erotica Writing Workshop

BGSQD and Hive Mind Books invite writers of all levels and backgrounds to join author Christian Pan in a Queer Erotica Writing Workshop!

REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT

Do you have fantasies, desires, an over-active imagination? Have you ever wanted to put some of that into a short story? Do you like reading erotica, and ever thought, “Yeah, I could do that!” Do you feel like your particular kind of YUM is not showing up in the LGBTQIA+ lit out there?

Then grab pen & paper (or a laptop), come to the Bureau, and let´s sweat it out onto the page.

Over the course of 5 in-person sessions, this workshop will provide prompts, tools, readings, and discussion of how each of us can bring our erotic story to life. We´ll talk character, dialogue, place, and ways to activate the senses. We´ll read excerpts from other people´s work, and welcome you to submit excerpts to be workshopped by the class. We will try to get you as close as possible to finishing a draft of that story by the end of the workshop.

Participants will also be invited to read an excerpt from their work to invited guests at the Bureau during a special event in September.

Sound like fun? Cost is only $15 per session, or $50 for all 5 if you pay in advance. This fee will go to support the bookstore as well as to pay Christian for his time.

Class size is capped at 15.
