Oh B*TCH!: A Feminist Obituary Writing Workshop
A powerful workshop that reimagines how we honor lives and legacies.
Obituaries are more than summaries of a life—they are historical documents. They shape who is remembered, how they are remembered, and what kinds of lives are treated as worthy of honor.
In this intimate and reflective workshop, we will explore what it means to write a feminist obituary: one that resists patriarchal norms, challenges systemic erasure, and celebrates the full humanity of those too often reduced to roles like “wife,” “mother,” or “helper.” Together, we’ll examine how traditional obituary structures often uphold gender, class, and racial bias, and how feminist writing can offer something truer, richer, and more liberatory.
Who This Workshop Is For
This space is for writers, grief-holders, historians of the everyday, and anyone interested in telling the truth about a life — especially the lives of women, marginalized people, and community builders whose stories deserve to be held differently.
No prior writing experience is necessary. All you need is willingness, curiosity, and care.
Space is intimate and limited. Register today to reserve your spot:

“Funny, frightening, and unexpectedly tender, My Roommate Is Trying To Kill Me is a deliciously unhinged queer horror romance for anyone who’s ever ignored a red flag because the face attached to it was just that good!“ - Aiden Thomas, NYT bestselling author of Cemetery Boys
About the Book:
Some things are harder to survive than murder.
Hakeem Morales wants to be the kind of horror actor people build midnight screenings around. At the moment, he's mostly working nights at a Los Angeles horror bar, The Last Cue; trying not to spiral about his stalled life; and wondering whether his new roommate is trying to kill him.
Antonio Sanchez is older, private, unfairly attractive, and suspicious in ways Hakeem feels should be illegal. He writes cryptic things in notebooks. He jokes too much about Hakeem's upcoming twenty-seventh birthday. Every time Hakeem almost convinces himself he's being dramatic, Antonio does something else deeply alarming.
Unfortunately, Hakeem's growing list of evidence is matched only by his growing attraction-because nothing improves a possible murder situation like developing a crush on the man you're pretty sure is planning it.
