But many are afraid to do so for fear that they will get it wrong–horribly, offensively wrong–and think it is better not even to try.In truth, it is possible to write the Other sensitively and convincingly, and the classes offered by Writing the Other can start you on the path to doing just that.Drawing on and updating work by Nisi Shawl and Cynthia Ward, authors of the acclaimed reference Writing the Other: A Practical Approach, the courses, seminars, and retreats we offer combine lectures, discussions, and writing exercises in a safe, supportive atmosphere.

Writing the Other

It is a truth universally acknowledged that an author will, in the course of their career, screw up. You can recover from it, though.

<p>It is a truth universally acknowledged that a writer of fiction will, in the course of their career, screw up. The screw up might be small or it might be huge. Either way, authors worry that screwing up could negatively impact their career for years, or even forever. For some, that fear is paralyzing, keeping them from engaging in community or with their readers or with learning opportunities.</p><p>A truth not universally acknowledged is that authors can recover from a screw up, even a highly public one, by avoiding specific behaviors that do nothing but escalate and make the situation worse. In the lecture portion of this webinar, authors Nisi Shawl and K. Tempest Bradford will break down what authors <em>should not </em>do and advise on what they <em>should </em>do, instead. The webinar concludes with a long question and answer session.</p><h2>Who Is This Class For?</h2><p>Any author of any skill level or publishing status who wants to avoid messing up, especially if they want to avoid hurting marginalized communities. This online seminar is <em>not </em>only for white writers, or cis writers, or men, it is for <em>any </em>writer who wants to take steps toward being a positive force in the creative community.</p><p>For more details, please visit <a href="https://wp.me/p7IBuN-Aw" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WritingTheOther.com</a>.</p><h2>Refund Policy</h2><p>We are not offering refunds for this webinar.
