Cleis Press Editor Rachel Kramer Bussel Going On Tour

BERKELEY, Calif.—Rachel Kramer Bussel, editor of more than 40 Cleis Press anthologies (most recently The Big Book of Orgasms and Serving Him), is kicking off a nationwide tour in which she will teach the basics of erotic writing, including a stop in San Francisco with Good Vibrations. Rachel has been writing about sexuality for more than 20 years, and she is now ready to share her expertise with the world. She will be teaching classes across the country on how to get started writing and find a unique voice. She'll also cover submitting work to publishers and media, an important and often confusing part of being a professional writer. Her scheduled public appearances are:   Oh My Sensuality Shop 6-8 p.m., Nov. 3 Northampton, Mass.   Good Vibrations Polk St. 6:30-7:30 p.m., Nov. 6 San Francisco   Self Serve 7:30-9 p.m. Albuquerque, New Mexico   Bedpost Confessions Reading Nov. 21 Austin, Texas   New York Academy for Sex Education 7:30-8:45 p.m. Jan. 17, 2014   Bussel will take the audience through the ins and outs of modern erotic writing. Learn how to get started, find a unique voice, and write against type. Discover how to incorporate everyday scenarios as well as outlandish fantasies into your writing, and make them fit for particular magazines and anthologies. She'll also talk about submitting your work and keeping up with the thriving erotica market (including anthologies, ebooks, magazines and websites). From writing to that special someone, penning longtime fantasies, or earning cash for dirty words, this workshop is for everyone. For more information, visit CleisPress.com.
