Ethical dilemmas for writers - where to draw the line.
About
Five steps to an ethical writing practice, with case-studies in how to be a trans ally.
Does your writing address difficult subjects? Are you worried about offending or triggering your readers? Or is your mantra ‘Publish and be damned!’?
Our discussion panel with David Herring and Robyn Heaslip aims to help you navigate the moral maze. It is chaired by Gena Morgan, Lead Editor of Dithering Chaps, a new Dorset-based indie publisher of poetry chapbooks.
We will share our five steps to an ethical writing practice, using issues raised by our first publication, ‘The Sheliand’, as a case-study. (‘The Sheliand’ is a secular re-imagining of the gospel stories, replacing the figure of Christ with Xe, who is undergoing a male-to-female transition.)
See how using our Five Steps helped us prepare for publication. Judge for yourselves whether we met our own ethical standards – all ticket holders will receive a free copy of ‘The Sheliand’ (RRP £9.95).
