[Review] Writing an Identity Not Your Own by Alex Temblador

Wowza! Illuminating and incredibly thought provoking. This book is a very detailed and scholarly examination of how biases, both conscious and unconscious, creep into one's writing when writing characters of a different identity. Prepare to become hyper aware of your own biases, even if you don't think you have any.

So well written and informative. This book should be part of every writer's writing-craft canon.

Note: I received this book as an ARC. It is scheduled to be released August 13, 2024.
