About In the Flesh

This reading series is the Texas version of the original In the Flesh New York, founded by erotica author and editor Rachel Kramer Bussel. There is also an In the Flesh Los Angeles currently run by Jolene Hui and Stan Kent. In the Flesh is a monthly erotic reading series allowing talented authors to step on stage and share their dirtiest and most salacious stories with eager audiences. Whether in NYC, LA, or Dallas, these performances promise to titillate, tease, and tempt.

Why Texas needs In The Flesh

After searching in vain for a sex-themed reading series in Dallas, I have decided to host my own. I am committed to doing whatever it takes to develop a vibrant community for erotic writers here. Cities like New York and LA offer many wonderful opportunities for authors to showcase their work--but so far Texas is falling sadly behind.

I decided to contact Rachel Kramer Bussel (the founder of the original In The Flesh, New York) for advice, and she graciously invited me to open a new branch of her famed reading series here! At this moment, I am still in the process of searching for a perfect venue and locating authors who are interested in reading. I am focusing on Dallas at the moment, but have big plans for the future, and would love to organize readings in Austin at some point, as well.

I will post updates here as I nail down more of the specifics. My goal is to kick off the Dallas In the Flesh in Spring of 2010. If you are interested in reading at In the Flesh in Dallas, please email InTheFleshTexas@yahoo.com. Thank you so much for your interest and support! I will keep you posted!
