Writing Diverse Characters - Online

Representation is important in writing, but so is respect and sensitivity. See past the stereotypes of race and ethnicity and learn to find authentic and believable characters that don’t look like you.

Instructor: Bestselling author Abby L. Vandiver, who also writes as Abby Collette, has always enjoyed writing, combining that with her gift for telling stories and love of mystery she became an author. Abby has penned more than thirty books and short stories. Additionally, Penguin Berkley will publish the first book, A Deadly Inside Scoop, in her new cozy mystery series, An Ice Cream Parlor Mystery, beginning spring 2020.
