Writing Spicy: Online Erotica Writing Group

The deep, complex truths about the desires of queer, trans, nonbinary, BIPOC, polyamorous, fat, neurodiverse, mentally ill, disabled, chronically ill, and other strategically undervalued folks are still undertold.

Our art tells of our histories. We create to prove we were here, to leave artifacts for the next generation, and to share what it’s like to be in this experience at this time.

Writing erotica is one of my favorite ways that I’ve found to document, share, and celebrate my own queer, nonbinary, trans, butch desires.

Join me, Sinclair Sexsmith — and two assistants who are incredibly talented erotica writers, Tobi Hill-Meyer and Kiki DeLovely — for this six week long writing group where we will dive deep into the craft of writing dirty stories.

We’ll look deeply at the parts of an erotic story: the opening paragraphs, the first consent moment, the climax (orgasmic or not), and finally the ending.

We’ll be reading plenty of examples to emulate and learn from along the way, and we’ll be bravely sharing our work to encourage constructive feedback, support, and encouragement.

Come join me and a supportive community, and dive into writing erotica.

Writing Spicy is a six week guided writing group focusing on constructing erotic stories.

Live webinars are held on Sundays:

October 5, 2025

October 12, 2025

October 19, 2025

October 26, 2025

November 2, 2025

November 16, 2025

Each week, we will:

1. Read short erotic fiction and study the craft
2. Draft different parts of a short erotic story
3. Share work with each other in Google Classroom
4. Give & receive constructive, positive feedback in Google Classroom

And, we will meet on Zoom for a 2-hour workshop, where we will:

1. Do a writing promp (or two) together!
2. Discuss a craft technique
3. Discuss the readings
4. Workshop selected pieces (in the Spicy Seat!)
5. Answer your questions

At the end of the class, you will have a revised story from writing prompts ready to polish and submit.

This class is for:

1. Beginner to intermediate writers
2. Writers who want to hone their craft (and maybe publish more work)
3. Unpublished writers! You do not have to have published anything
4. Experienced, published writers! Who might want to refresh their craft and get re-inspired to write
5. People who never “make time” to write, but who want to
6. People who want to write in community! With friends! And become fans of each others’ work!
7. All genders, all sexual orientations, all experience levels welcome — no specifics required

Queer characters, sex, and kinky acts are not required, but this will be a queer-centered and kink-positive space. The workshop container is trauma informed and includes content warnings.

YES!

The webinars will be recorded and available to download if you cannot be there live.

There is a sliding scale!
