Workshop: Awakening Desire - Writing Smut with Depth

​Writing steamy scenes is one thing — writing steamy scenes that actually move your reader is another. If your intimate moments feel flat, disconnected from your characters, or like they could belong in any story, this workshop is for you.

​In this hands-on session, we'll explore how to craft sensual scenes with real emotional weight. You'll learn how to build tension that keeps readers turning pages, shape characters whose desires feel authentic, and write intimacy that deepens your story rather than just decorating it. We'll work through guided exercises designed to help you balance heat with heart — so every scene serves both the plot and the people in it.

​Whether you're brand new to writing smut or looking to add more depth to scenes you've already drafted, you'll leave this workshop with practical techniques for writing sensual fiction with confidence.

​This session will be led by: Manon Doucet & J.S. Malvado
