About this Event
Do you have the tools to authentically write and edit a character whose identity is different than your own? It’s not a subject that’s generally taught in creative writing programs. There are few online resources, but in terms of craft books, what exists is outdated or limited in its scope. Some seminars and classes are offered by independent writing workshops, but can you learn everything you need to know in a three-hour seminar or even a four-week class? Not at all. You need a book on hand to provide guidance and insight as you craft characters with historically marginalized identities. That’s where this book comes in.
Temblador will discuss Writing an Identity Not Your Own in a sit-down, interview-style discussion with Nimrod managing editor Hachi Chuku. Attendees will have a chance to ask questions as well as purchase copies of the text and get them signed by the author.
