On Saturday, March 15th from 1-3 pm EST, I will be participating in a virtual panel on writing trans characters! I am super excited to have been invited by Weeknight Writers to participate in this panel along with authors Felix Graves, Georgina Kiersten, Vaela Denarr and host Dianna Gunn and Jade Benjamin.
Trans stories are more important than ever. This two-hour panel will feature four trans authors sharing how they approach writing trans characters and what trans folks should keep in mind when writing their own stories. We’ll also touch on how cis writers can create trans characters without perpetuating stereotypes or causing harm and how everyone can support stories featuring trans characters.
This event is hosted by the Weeknight Writers Group, a social enterprise dedicated to providing affordable and accessible support for authors. The first hour and a half will be devoted to questions from our Sustaining Members and the panel moderators. The final half hour will be devoted to live audience questions.
You can purchase a ticket on their website for $15 or you can join their newsletter in order to get half-off your ticket. I also believe that being a sustaining member of the Weeknight Writers will also get you access to the panel and others before/after it.
I hope I will see you there or that you will support this fantastic writers’ organization that continues to bolster marginalized writers.
