Kate Foster
Writing Diverse Characters and Deep Point of View
The workshop will open with a talk about writing diverse characters, including the do's and don't's and why it's essential to get the representation accurate. This then moves perfectly into the differences between writing third and first point of view, with tips and tricks on how to bring the perspective as close as possible. (Be prepared for a little show don't tell!)
