Event Description
Erotic Writing. A matter that strikes fear in the hearts of many writers.
If you are writing fiction, you often need to open this Pandora’s box. It’s ripe with political incorrectness, point-of-view issues, censorship quandaries. But it’s acceptable, and even fun to write and read.
Whether you are interested in writing an erotic novel, or if you are just dealing with a section of your book that encompasses this section of the universe, you need to feel comfortable with the genre in order to expect success.
Our panel will tell you how and why they did it (wrote, that is), and with appropriate good humor will let you in on the secrets, the pitfalls, and the benefits of writing good erotic prose or poetry.
Remember, “…it’s only dirty if you do it right,” attributed to Woody Allen, Lenny Bruce, and George Burns.
Relax, it’s just sex.
