Writing About Race and Identity in Children's/YA (Virtual)

What does it mean to write "inclusively"? If you're struggling to authentically portray diverse characters and identify solid mentor texts as a guide, this workshop is for you. Explore character, culture, compassion, and empathy with other children's/YA authors through short readings, creative writing exercises, and group critique—aimed to help us incorporate "own voices" in our work by avoiding the pitfalls of appropriation or insensitivity to marginalized communities (aka: the global majority).
