Academic Lecturer

Sinclair Sexsmith began organizing online in 1996 around topics of identity, queer culture, feminism, and self-awareness, and now teach workshops on BDSM, gender, writing, and getting the sex life you want. Since 2006, they have produced the award-winning website Sugarbutch Chronicles: The Sex, Gender, and Relationship Adventures of a Kinky Queer Butch Top at sugarbutch.net. Contributing to more than twenty anthologies, including five Best Lesbian Erotica editions, Persistence: Still Butch and Femme, and Take Me There: Trans and Genderqueer Erotica, Mr. Sexsmith is the guest editor of Best Lesbian Erotica 2012 and editor of Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica, both from Cleis Press. They are on the board of the upcoming 2013 BUTCH Voices conference, produce programs for the Lesbian Sex Mafia in New York City, and serve the Body Electric School as a workshop coordinator. Sinclair prefers the pronouns they/them and the masculine honorific “Mr.”

Sinclair’s workshop and performance option includes a 2-hour interactive afternoon writing workshop (either Writing Ourselves into Existence, Writing Dirty, or Write Yourself A Better Sex Life) and a spoken word performance in the evening, in which Sinclair will do a 30 to 60 minute poetry set and participants in the workshop will be invited to read on a 30 to 60 minute open mic, MC’d by Mr. Sexsmith. Folks will get a chance to have some performance and writing coaching, and then showcase their writings in front of the larger group.
