In today’s publishing environment, how confident are you about including characters of different races, gender orientations, ethnicities and religions?
Let’s face it — not every character you create will be just like you. To make your stories interesting and appealing, you need to include characters with varied backgrounds.
But, especially now, that’s not as easy as it sounds. As awareness grows about cultural stereotyping and insensitive portrayals, many writers find themselves paralyzed by doubt when it comes to the subject.

You’ll learn:
When and how to include diverse characters.
How to notice and process the differences between you and those with differing backgrounds.
How to write characters with disabilities or other challenges, characters from nontraditional or adoptive families, and those from privileged or disadvantaged backgrounds.
How to respectfully create characters of a different race, culture, religion or sexual orientation.
How to know which parts of your personal story will be of interest to readers.
How to avoid stereotypical characters or storylines.
…and much more!
