Diversity in Writing presented by Robyn-Jay Bage (17 Oct 2026)

Sat, 17 Oct 2026 14:30:00 GMT

Usually, when we talk about diversity, we talk about inherent diversity: gender, age, race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, etc. But we are so much more than that—and so are your characters.

Join Robyn as she explains all of the domains of diversity. If you keep them in mind as you develop your story, you can create characters that are unique, sometimes unpredictable, and always interesting.
