Race and Writing
Hey guys, DP is working with some of our authors to do a kind of online mini author con in May. There will be a month long writing challenge with prizes; word wars in the chat room; and various guest chats about writing. We're interested in having many more than one perspective, and one thing we want to do is talk about being inclusive.
I'd love to schedule an hour long chat with a guest who actually knows what he or she is talking about that could be a kind of Race 101 for New Writers. We want many other subjects too, of course, and other chats about race, sex, religion, class, feminism, and other important subjects are also welcome, as well as the usual discussions of character creation, world building, a particular genre, and/or other general writing subjects. You could do it alone or as a panel chat with a group of friends. The chats are moderated and we'll work with your schedule. We plan to schedule the chats at various times on weekends so that we can be welcoming to a global audience.
If you do want to join us, you're free to talk about your press, if you're an editor or publisher, or your books if you're an author. We'll post a bio about you on the website and include links to your information/website of choice.
If you're not interested in being a chat guest, but would be interested in writing a blog post, please let me know.
If any of you are interested please email me at deena@drolleriepress.com. If you know someone else who might be interested, please share this post.
Thanks!
