Course Details
You want to write stories with more diverse characters, but you aren’t sure how to get it right. That’s OK, this workshop is for you! We’ll start by talking about how to research other cultures without being invasive or offensive. Then we’ll dive right in and workshop your characters.
Participants should come with a one-sentences concept of their story and a brief character sketch. If numbers warrant, participants will be separated into groups based on their character types and/or genre.
Each group will receive one dedicated hour of in-depth discussion of tips and pitfalls for their particular stories. This is a safe space to discuss race, gender, and cultures, and a safe space to make mistakes. A respectful and humble attitude is required of all participants.
