A group of women writers over fifty who met monthly to write erotica and share their writing started a movement.  They didn’t intend to, but it seems to strike a chord with many women at mid-life and beyond.  From that small beginning came “Elderotica” 

They found that other women wanted to be a part of the Elderotica writing group, but that conflicted with the need to keep the group small enough to be workable and to meet in each others’ homes.

Some alumna participate in Dirty Old Women (a reading series in Oakland, CA), and some published stories in the first Dirty Old Women anthology.  For the Palace of Wisdom workshop, we invite women writers – of all levels – to join us and celebrate writing about sensuality and sexuality in a fun and safe space.

Workshops are run in the Triangle area of North Carolina, and in the San Francisco Bay area regularly.  Sign up below to be kept up to date on schedules and plans.  

Have a group of friends who would like to be part of a Palace of Wisdom workshop?  Stella also does private ‘on-demand’ workshops in your location.  You’ll need a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 12 women to make that work.
