Non-Conventional Characters
Channel: Joan Burgos
Date: 2016-06-27

Shannon Iwanski, Adrean Messmer, Jack Burgos, and Mac Boyle of Nevermore Edits join together with the Oklahoma City Writers, Inc., to discuss non-conventional characters. They discuss writing characters of all shapes and sizes and the issues that arise from attempting to write them without attending to cultural differences. They will engage in a conversation about LGBT, non-White, non-Christian, and even non-human portrayals in fiction—and how, as writers, we can do better at being representative in our prose.
