Two events:

Erotic Fiction Workshop & Party with Mitzi Szereto

Have you ever considered writing erotic fiction? If not, why not? It is not porn but a stylised and sophisticated form of literature that is fun to write and easy to sell. The workshop’s aim is to break down barriers in people’s writing. There's no need to be fearful or suppress your writing because of some inner censor. Workshop will consist of a lecture, group discussions, writing exercises and an overview of the marketplace for those considering publication. Please do not bring in copies of your short stories for critiques. Designed for those interested in writing erotica for professional or personal exploration. Open to all levels of writers. An attendance certificate will be awarded.
