Sex will find its way!
In some form, implied or explicit, into much of our writing. In popular culture it is equally celebrated and maligned, used to express love, but also power and fear. Writers can approach it in many and diverse ways, but knowing how to do it well, and without it feeling clinical or cliched, can be tricky. This 90 minute writing session with Leone Ross will explore what makes good (and bad) sex writing, and how to write something authentic and impassioned.

About the Writers' HQ Writing as Resistance Festival
Supported by Anglia Ruskin University and the University of Strathclyde
“A word after a word after a word is power” Margaret Atwood
Join Team WHQ, Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), and a carefully curated team of incredible authors for a month of panels, workshops, write-alongs and events exploring stories, writing and creativity as radical, political and powerful.
During September, we’re taking a deep dive into the rebellious, subversive nature of creativity and what that means for you, an individual writer sitting in front of a laptop wishing things were better, and for all of us, a community of humans existing together in a world where change often feels impossible.
We’re going to wade deep into the transformative possibilities of fiction and how stories can open portals, sow seeds of change, or lob a well-timed literary Molotov in the jaws of the machine. Fuck yeah!
But! The WHQ Writing as Resistance Festival isn’t just about talking, we’re also doing. With a series of free guided workshops, we are challenging all of you to write a brand new story, but one that’s unlike anything you’ve written before. And then we’ll end he month with a mass celebration during which we’ll send all our stories into the world at once.
