During an interview with Lit Hub‘s Book Dreams podcast, Hillary Jordan and Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan discuss the power of writing anonymously. In their collection Anonymous Sex, Tan and Jordan asked writers to write anonymously about sex, giving them the freedom to write from perspectives not their own and to openly engage with sexuality without fear of judgment. “That really speaks to the freedom that this book represents, because I think a lot of our writers just wrote whatever they wanted, which is so beautiful to see,” Tan says.
What would you write if you were free to do so without fear of judgment or repercussions? What would you create if you didn’t have to worry about getting dragged on Twitter?
