SUMMARY:Summer Sweat Series: Queer Erotica Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:BGSQD and Hive Mind Books invite writers of all levels and backgrounds to join author Christian Pan in a Queer Erotica Writing Workshop! \nREGISTER FOR THIS EVENT \nDo 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? \nThen grab pen & paper (or a laptop)\, come to the Bureau\, and let´s sweat it out onto the page. \nOver 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. \nParticipants will also be invited to read an excerpt from their work to invited guests at the Bureau during a special event in September. \nSound 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. \nClass size is capped at 15. \n*** \nWorkshop Dates:  \nMon\, 17 August 630-830pm \nMon\, 24 August 630-830pm \nMon\, 31 August 630-830pm \nTues\, 8 September 630-830pm \nMon\, 14 September 630-830pm \nPublic Reading: Friday\, 18 September 7pm \n*** \nChristian Pan is the author of over 20 books of erotic fiction which often center bisexual characters\, identity\, and experience. His writing has been published by Cleis Press\, Incision Press\, Folly\, Rebel Satori Press\, the Indie Authors Collective\, and the Erotica Consortium; he´s co-authored numerous titles with Jenna Citrus and Olivia Lawless; and his books have received recognition from the Passionate Plume Awards\, the Golden Pigtails\, and The International Impact Book Awards.
