Is it okay to write about people of other genders, races and identities? And how do I do this responsibly?

This is the first practical guide to thinking and writing reflectively about these issues.

Appropriation
Authenticity
Body
Class
Counternarrative
Disability
Essentialism
Gender
Indigenous
Power
Privilege
Representation
The book is meant for writers of fiction, poetry, screenplays and creative non-fiction who are seeking to develop a writing practice that is attentive to the world. The book is supported by a companion website at www.criticalcreativewriting.org.
