Writing and Publishing Sex
Join us for an inspiring evening as three authors whose works deal, directly or indirectly, with social issues discuss how to keep your political principles through the act of writing.
Three writers who focus on writing about sex, in one form or another, talk about navigating the publishing field. In a social environment that is increasingly censorious and judgmental, it’s not always easy to be waving pages of orgasm in the direction of agents and editors. From profound research to the exploration of fetishes, our panelists take a sex-positive approach to the page. They often face unique obstacles, from determining the right tone when working with intimate material to gaining non-salacious publicity.
Bringing Together All the Pieces: Writing and Compiling Collections
Join three writers – a poet, fiction writer, and editor – as they talk about the process of writing and compiling literary collections and give you advice as to how you might start to envision yours. Featuring Jane Katims, author of the poetry collection, Dancing on a Slippery Floor; Elizabeth Searle, authro of Celebrities in Disgrace; and Jean Trounstine, co-editor of the Boston bestseller Why I'm Still Married: Women Write Their Hearts Out On Love, Loss, Sex, and Who Does the Dishes.
