In-depth interview on writing diverse characters
Recently, I was on one of the top podcasts for authors, The Creative Penn with Joanna Penn.
We talked about how to include representation without being stereotypical, researching cultural callbacks to include in your writing, how to use oral history from tribes in your research, writing diverse characters outside of our personal experience, and creating well-rounded characters when writing diversity.

I’ve listened to Joanna’s podcast for over a decade, so this was a tremendous honor, and I think you’ll glean useful insight and tips in the interview.
