online event; open to all mentees & mentors
In this Community Chat, we’re going to focus on gender and sexual orientation as it pertains to writing. We’ll consider steps we can take to create pieces that have characters who reflect our own gender expressions, gender identities and/or sexual orientations and those that are different from our own. We’ll also review key terms and concepts related to sexual orientation and gender identity. This terminology is helpful to consider not only as we think about developing characters who have identities that differ from our own, but also in our real world interactions with others. Join this workshop to explore writing about your own identity and others’!
