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.
