Writing About Love & Sexuality
August 1
Writing about love, intimacy, and sexuality can be one of the most rewarding—and vulnerable—parts of memoir. How do you write honest, emotionally resonant scenes without holding back or crossing into oversharing? How do you navigate fear, shame, and the deeply personal nature of these experiences while remaining true to your story?
Join authors Bonnie Comfort, Marijke McCandless, and Kamala Devi for a candid panel discussion on the craft of writing intimate scenes with courage, specificity, and authenticity. You’ll gain practical tools for approaching vulnerable material, creating meaningful emotional connection with readers, and writing about love and sexuality in ways that are both powerful and artful. Bring your questions for what promises to be an open, thoughtful, and inspiring conversation.
