Narrative writers who would like to portray a diverse cast of characters
in their work may find a valuable guide in this collection of resources
compiled by the instructors at Writing the Other, which focuses on
helping writers "learn to write characters very different from you
sensitively and convincingly." Here, readers will find links to numerous
articles, essays, blog posts, and other freely available resources
helpfully organized into categories. To begin, several links address the
question "Why should I write inclusive fiction?" These are followed by a
section that focuses on writing characters from four broad identity
categories: race and ethnicity, gender (including trans and non-binary),
sexual orientation, and characters with disabilities. On each
category's page, visitors can learn about what Tropes & Stereotypes
to Avoid and find suggestions of where to turn for Resources and
Research. Several categories also have links discussing language choices
and examples of how to write characters from these groups well. Back on
the main Resources page, the third section offers links to information
on Intersectionality and Characterization as well as "The Cultural
Appropriation Primer." Taken together, these resources offer writers a
helpful starting point in learning "how to craft characters from any
background, no matter how different they are from you."
