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.

Family bonds, friendships, and lifelong partnerships create support networks around characters in every narrative. Writers often struggle to represent the connections and bonds between people that are outside their experience.In this class, authors Piper J. Drake, Lauren Jankowski, and Jacqueline Koyanagi will discuss family and found family, platonic relationships and friendships, poly and interracial relationships, and how to recognize and challenge the Love Hierarchy.Join Writing the Other in exploring a range of relationship arcs and interpersonal dynamics to create vivid narratives and character-driven plot lines.<ul><li>When: July 1 - 23, 2023</li><li>Where: Online in an Asynchronous classroom</li><li>Price: $250</li></ul>Scholarships Available!For full class details, including required texts, accessibility info, and available scholarships, please visit <a href="https://writingtheother.com/category/classes/reg/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WritingTheOther.com</a>. ______________________________________________________________________________________________<h2>Refund Policy</h2>If you find that you need to drop the class, you may do so by requesting a refund via Eventbrite.If you send a refund request up to 15 days before the class start date, you will receive a full refund minus a service fee.Beyond that time you will not have your registration fee refunded.
