EROTICA LAID BARE: WRITING SEX THEY WON’T FORGET—JERRY L. WHEELER 

Are your characters looking to get lucky, but you can’t get them to first base? Join award-winning erotica writer and editor Jerry L. Wheeler as he uses a series of guided writing prompts involving your senses guaranteed to put your creations in the mood for love. Bring your imaginations and something to write with, and you’ll craft a perfect five-line paragraph of erotic prose. Anything goes and usually does, but be sure to leave your inhibitions at the door. Wheeler is the editor of seven anthologies of gay erotica for Bold Strokes Books, Wilde City Press, and other publishers. His collection of short fiction and essays, Strawberries and Other Erotic Fruits was shortlisted for the Lambda Literary Award in 2012, and he is the author of the BookFest Spring 2025 first place award-winner for LGBTQ+ Literary Fiction, Mercedes General.
