Hi everyone,

I’m thrilled to announce I will be teaching at the superb Swanwick Writers’ Summer School in August once again. I am running a two-part course on how to write erotic short stories that stand out.

Here’s the full description:

Are you looking to try your hand (or should that be pen?) at something different? Perhaps even risqué? Maybe you’ve written erotic short stories before, but haven’t been successful at getting any published. Whatever your circumstances, if you’re looking to make your erotic short stories stand out (in a good way) then this short course is for you.

The sessions will be led by long-time writer and editor, Lucy Felthouse. With well in excess of one hundred erotic short stories published, and countless others edited, Lucy has plenty of experience in this field. Pick up hints and tips, hear some examples, take part in some fun exercises to get your creative juices flowing, and have the opportunity to ask questions.

The first session will consist of an introduction, some hints and tips, an example and some time for working on your own piece. The second session will provide the opportunity for another exercise, group discussion and a Q&A section.

*Note: 18+ only. Expect bad language and sexual references. This course will be a safe space, nothing will be shared outside of it, and delegates will not be expected to read out their work unless they want to.

This particular course is on the 12th August, though the writers’ school runs all week and has a schedule jam-packed with fantastic sessions, workshops and tutorials.

For more information and to book your place, visit the Swanwick Writers’ Summer School website.

Happy Reading,
Lucy x
