You may have noticed that there are quite a few people of color teaching at this year's Writing Excuses cruise / writing conference. Besides myself there's Amal El-Mohtar, Maurice Broaddus, Piper J Drake, Valynne E. Maetani, and DongWon Song. There will be workshops as well as lectures, plus time for one-on-one conversations. There will be a POC Safer Space and, in general, awareness of the challenges of being a writer in spaces that have often been white-dominated. We're looking forward to making this conference and retreat a productive AND fun experience for everyone. . http://www.writingexcuses.com/2018/01/16/writing-excuses-retreat-2018/ . #writingworkshop #writingworkshops #writingretreat #writingclass #writingcommunity #writingexcuses #creativewriting #creativewritingclass #fiction #sciencefiction #fantasyfiction #writersofcolor #blackwriters #arabwriters #asianwriters
