Of interest to ISBW listeners: Writing the Other webinar

by

Mur

There’s a new webinar coming April 15 from the Writing The Other site and I wanted to let people know!

From the site:

Discussions of diversity in literature often boil down to a version of this basic question: Should white authors write characters of color? Should cisgender authors write trans characters? Should abled people write characters with disabilities? Should heterosexuals write QUILTBAG characters? The list goes on.

Though framed as a yes or no question, the answer is complicated and complex. Yet it’s the same one for every permutation that gets asked. In this 3 and a half hour webinar, authors Nisi Shawl and K. Tempest Bradford will give you the answer.

  • When: April 21, 3PM – 6:30PM Eastern
  • Where: Online via Zoom meeting
  • Price: $50

If you can’t make the webinar, then check out Writing the Other: A Practical Approach by Cynthia Ward and Nisi Shawl.

I’m not affiliated with Writing the Other, nor do I gain anything from you signing up, but I think this kind of class is very important since there are people who ask this question all the time. Check it out if you can.
