Have a fantasy you want to get down on the page? Working on a novel that craves some erotic tension?

Or do you want to give your lover(s) a truly unique, sensual gift in story form?

Join us in Samsara’s first full-day smut writing intensive, hosted by yours truly, @earnesttouch.

Whether you’re a seasoned writer or new to the page, this is a space to stretch your sensual

imagination, experiment with language, and celebrate pleasure through words. Come ready to giggle,

blush, and write things you never thought you’d say out loud. By the end, you’ll have a juicy story,

play, or poem under your belt!

Earnest has been writing smut for 6 years (or more). They are drawn to writing about power dynamics,

consensual non-consent, queer and trans bodies, sci-fi and speculative fiction. Earnest is passionate

about finding non-normative language to describe the erotic, and will push you, the writer, to subvert

your expectations. We all have such interesting, unique & strange bodies. Let’s write it that way.

You can come to all sessions, or just one. If you are attending the full workshop, please bring a lunch

and some snacks to share!

Part of the proceeds will go towards Earnest’s top surgery fund. A word from them about their journey:

“I have known I wanted top surgery for several years now, but never thought I could get it due to lack

of health insurance, and how expensive and overwhelming the whole process is. I now feel ready to ask

for resources, guidance, and encouragement. These initial funds will go towards securing a special

therapist so that I can get ‘approved’ for gender affirming care. Then I will begin the process of finding

the right surgeon for me. I don’t have a gofundme yet, but my Venmo (@big-red-dog) will be available

at the workshop. I am super grateful for this community and hope that my fellow trans & nonbinary

peeps get the care they need.”
