BDSM 101

Join New York Times & USA Today bestselling erotic romance author and sex and kink educator Eden Bradley as she explores the basics of BDSM. Learn about terminology, equipment, consent, safety and the psychology of kink, and how it can make for deeper conflicts and connection between your characters. She’ll touch on kink community and the dungeon scene, as well as “at-home” kink, and will end with a Q&A and toy show and tell. Be sure not to miss this opportunity to discuss BDSM with a “real-lifer” with over 30 years of experience in kink!

What Romance Writers Can Learn From Marvel and Pixar

MAY 15, 2021

Marvel and Pixar have combined storytelling and fan service in a way other entertainment companies have not mastered. Whether you write stand alones or series, it is worth looking at what they do to create movies everyone talks about and how they leverage insider knowledge to keep fans interested in what comes next. From building a world that is completely new but completely recognizable, to touching moments that pull our heartstrings, to training their fans to look beyond the story, Marvel and Pixar movies go big. Editor Jen Graybeal will walk you through what they do and how all of this applies to writing romance novels.
