Toronto Erotica Writers and Readers Meetup—May 30
Wednesday May 30
7–10pm
Tequila Bookworm
512 Queen Street West, upstairs
The last meetup was a good one! We had a very lively chat about safer sex in erotica, another fun icebreaker from Sky and some excellent readings. Building on that, here’s what is in store for this coming meetup!
Raffle! Everyone who comes to the meetup will be entered into a raffle for a gift certificate from Come As You Are. The draw will take place just before the start of the open mic. Make sure you get a ticket!
7:30pm: Prolific writer and editor Rachel Kramer Bussel will join us via Skype to give us some quick tips on submitting work to Calls for Submissions.
8:00pm: Another fun icebreaker! The icebreaker will conclude at 8:45 to ensure there is time to set up for the open mic and raffle draw.
9:00pm: ORAL: Adventures in Erotica Open Mic reading: I am going to look into another format to record and present this to make it longer (if there are enough readers). However, I am now instituting a strict 7 minute limit to any story. You’ll get time warnings, but please know that I will cut you off at the 7 minute mark. There will be a sign up list posted at the bar. Depending on demand, the open mic will go as late at 10pm.
***If you want to present a multimedia piece, Francis has graciously offered to supply a projector. It would be fantastic if you could let me know by Tuesday May 29 if you would like to make use of it.
Thank you for your feedback, your support and your interest in smutty sentences!
Hope to see you out!
