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

We have always been here: LGBTQIA+ folks, BIPOC, folks with many kinds of disabilities and differences are all a big part of human history.

Let’s discover the best ways to include ourselves or characters from identities different from ours in the historical fiction we write.In this webinar we’ll examine techniques for finding and accurately interpreting historical sources, go over ways to interrogate the dominant paradigm’s versions of the past, and learn how to focus our narratives on the lives of the formerly marginalized.
