In this one-session creative writing workshop, we’ll explore how to craft authentic, dynamic LGBTQIA+ protagonists across all genres of fiction. Through writing exercises, discussion, and examples from contemporary authors, we’ll examine how identity can shape character, plot, and voice without relying on stereotypes. Whether you’re writing realism, romance, fantasy, or mystery, this class will help you develop characters that reflect the richness and diversity of the LGBTQIA+ experience. Writers of all levels and identities are welcome.
