Liza Achilles will be a panelist for the April Brown Bag Lit event "Love on the Page: Transforming Passion into Words." Join us for an intimate literary event celebrating the art of writing about love, desire, and personal transformation. We’ll celebrate how exploring these themes—as a writer and reader—can help us find grounding during these chaotic, dark times. Featured writers are poet and blogger Liza Achilles, and pleasure coach and author Laura Zam. Liza will read from her book Two Novembers: A Memoir of Love ’n’ Sex in Sonnets and Laura from her book The Pleasure Plan. They’ll share not only a bit of their personal journeys, but also how they translated it into writing. Come for the love stories and stay for how you can apply the messages to your own life and pages. Register for free for the Zoom link.
