Tropes in context
Learn to examine tropes in context, write conflict responsibly, and write outside your experience. This module contains helpful guidance and direction to resources for additional learning around writing diversity.
Writing conflict responsibly
While we love the soaring highs and deep lows of a thrilling story, when you’re thinking about conflict you can include in your story, it’s important to make sure the conflict you’re including in fiction is not going to do harm in the real world by trivializing real experiences of harm and violence.
Writing Outside Your Experience
In this module, we’ll be covering some of the basics of writing outside your own experience and social location. It can feel like a tricky topic; there is no one right answer here, and this is not the be-all end-all of the conversation. Rather, this module offers some ways to begin to think about writing identities and experiences you don’t share, but there is always more to learn.
