Collaboration, Queer Art, and a Multi-Media Novel

The Boulder Writers’ Workshop ran this interview with me at the end of August.

Here’s a bit regarding my upcoming class:

BWW: Your upcoming workshop titled, “F*ck the Muse: Grab Your Writing by the Nasty Bits,” sounds like instruction in hand-to-hand combat techniques. Are you going to show writers how to attack the muse, rather than surrender to where she may, or may not, take them?

EM: It’s hand-to-hand-combat, but it’s also foreplay, late night conversations, passionate love-making, silent hand-holding, and occasional slapstick misunderstandings. What’s important is that you participate as an equal.

Don’t let the muse stick you in a rut. Take control of your art.
