Are you a writer looking for a fresh approach to sex scenes? Learn how to write memorable sex scenes that fit your characters and your plot! This is a frank, fun, respectful workshop about the “birds and the bees,” and what goes on between the sheets, or on the kitchen floor, or maybe out at sea. This class allows participants to explore the many ways of writing about sex no matter the genre.

If you find revision to be an intimidating and messy process, then this class is for you! In this two-part lecture, writers at any stage in their craft will learn practical revision strategies to help refine and reimagine their works-in-progress. We will discuss how to assess what needs to be revised, including beginnings and endings, scenes and plots, syntax and diction, metaphors and more. Then, we’ll explore visual organization tools such as note cards, sticky notes, and highlighters.
