Join fellow Muse attendees, authors, agents, and editors to discuss questions unique to writers of color, from both the "muse" and "marketplace" perspectives. We'll discuss craft issues that writers of color may encounter differently than white writers-- such as indicating characters' racial identities, explaining cultural references, italicizing non-English words, and addressing readerly assumptions that are based on one's identity.
We'll also discuss what a
lack of diversity in publishing industry means for writers of color. Agents and editors will share their perspectives on how such a writer might best find a home for her work, and the unique challenges she may face in her book's marketing and promotion.
Come for a lively, interesting, and important conversation. We'll begin with prepared questions and will then open to Q&A. Designed for attendees of color, but all are welcome.
