Writing Diversity: A Four-part Series Online
Developing characters with diverse identities is a way to enrich your writing. In this class we will discuss the reasons why disability, race, gender, or sexual orientation aren’t always portrayed in the best light within literature and media. We will share examples of good writing on diverse identities and tips on how to create characters with accuracy and empathy.
