SUMMARY:AWP 2023: The Narrative of Desire: The Importance of Writing Horny Women
DESCRIPTION:A panel discussion with Carmen Maria Machado\, Alyssa Songsiridej\, and Lillian Fishman. \nSexual desire is a perfect narrative accelerant. It propels plot\, informs character\, thwarts plans. But pure sexual desire is often denied female characters\, who are allowed to be desirous-but-doomed or desirous-but-it’s-self-actualization but rarely messily\, humanly horny. In this panel\, four writers discuss the strategies\, challenges\, and value of writing horniness in fiction\, the impoverished history of women’s desire in fiction\, and importance of a robust future of horny women characters.

SUMMARY:Horny Between the Covers: Women Writers on Lust
DESCRIPTION:Electric Literature’s 2023 Spring Salon Series is presented by Mount Saint Mary’s University.   \nAll events are pay-what-you-want\, and proceeds support Electric Literature\, a 501c3 nonprofit with the mission to make literature more exciting\, relevant\, and inclusive. \n— \nIn a time when women’s bodily autonomy is under renewed legal attack\, narratives about ungovernable female desire take on new urgency. As our laws regress\, more and more contemporary fiction is pushing back against outdated beliefs regarding writing about sex\, giving female horniness the central focus it deserves. \nOur panelists Carmen Maria Machado (Her Body and Other Parties and In the Dream House)\, Rebecca Rukeyser (The Seaplane on Final Approach)\, and Lillian Fishman (Acts of Service) began this conversation during a packed panel at AWP\, but found that there was still so much to say about bodies\, lust\, and publishing. Now Electric Literature is continuing the conversation for free\, online. Whose desire gets to be depicted\, and how are narratives about lust molded by society’s judgments? And how do authors navigate the vulnerable process of publishing explicit work?  Moderated by Alyssa Songsiridej\, author of Little Rabbit and managing editor at Electric Literature. Their discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A.
