June 27, 2024How to do Justice to Diversity in Fiction — Journey to Merveilleux City with Stephanie Barbé Hammer and Romaine Washington
How do we, as writers, tell the stories of characters whose lived experience is different from our own? How do we create a world in our work that’s true to the multicultural spaces we inhabit – without risking the misappropriation of those cultures? Join Romaine Washington and Stephanie Barbé Hammer in conversation about Stephanie’s new novella, Journey to Merveilleux City, finalist for the Foreword Indie book award, Mystery category.
Thursday, June 27, 7 PM PT. FREE. On Zoom. Registration required. https://tinyurl.com/DiversityInFiction
