Empathy, Identity and Storytelling: Crafting Queer Characters

January 25 @ 7:00 pmā€“8:30 pm PST

Free

Writing diverse characters can be a struggle. So often a writer can be paralyzed by fear of getting it wrong or of being too didactic. For those who want some insight in how to write LGBTQ+ characters with thoughtfulness, the Nelson Library will be offering a free workshop.

The workshop will be taught by local author Ari Lord and participants will leave the workshop with practical tools to avoid stereotypes and tokenism and to represent queer people in all their glorious complexity. The workshop is free and open to all levels of writers, and open to all identities.
