"Doing It For the Plot"
FREE writing intimacy workshop
hello lover,
Just a quick note to let you know that I’ll be leading a FOLD Academy Workshop on Writing Intimacy in Genre Fiction this Saturday, October 18 at 12pm EST, and its FREE so if that sounds interesting to you, register here.
I had the absolute honour of attending the FOLD Festival (Festival of Literary Diversity) this past spring and got to meet so many incredible authors and readers, and participated in some of the coolest events (like a Literary Cabaret and Romance High Tea). So when FOLD Program Coordinator, Hudson Lin, reached out and asked if I’d be a part of the FOLD Academy series, I was yelling yes at my computer screen before I finished reading her email.
Here’s more info:
Writing on-page intimacy can be intimidating for even seasons authors. Ruby will lead participants in a discussion on the art of on-page intimacy that is inclusive of all genders and heat levels; help attendees identify the heat level they are comfortable with; provide advice on how to approach intimate scenes using the effective language; and, how intimate scenes can and should be used to progress plot.
This workshop is for writers of all skill and experience levels.
I love working with the FOLD and talking about s*x in genre fiction and I hope I’ll see your faces this Saturday!
