ONLINE: Writing Spicy

Come join Sinclair Sexsmith, award winning kinky queer butch erotica writer, for some of the basics of writing erotica. We'll talk about questions like, How do you make sure it's hot? and What if I want to get published? We'll do some writing prompts, and folks will be invited to share their work (optional!) and offer positive feedback. Bring a notebook and a pen, or something equivalent.

PRESENTER:

SINCLAIR SEXSMITH (they/them) is a queer trans butch, a leather dominant, and a writer, focusing on individual, interpersonal, and institutional systems of power.

They actively explore the philosophies of power exchange and the practicalities of sustainable, long term D/s.
