Its not a subject thats 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 There are few online resources, but in terms of craft books, what exists is outdated or limited in its scope.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. Thats where this book comes in.In Writing an Identity Not Your Own, award-winning author Alex Temblador will discuss one of the most contentious topics in creative writing: crafting a character whose identity is historically marginalized. Shell begin by discussing what she means by identity and why its important to understand the state of diversity in publishing, before delving into how unconscious bias and bias blocks are the biggest obstacles to this writing approach. From there, youll learn about intersectional identities and specific things to consider when writing different race\/ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, disabilities, nationalities, and more. Alex will guide writers through the pre-writing phase to the editing process so they can gain a full understanding of the complexities of writing other identities and why its important to get it right.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972561994016,"sku":"NEW125090711X","price":20.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/writing-an-identity-not-your-own-a-guide-for-creative-writers-125090711x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
