Writing Queer Stories Workshop: Inclusive Characters, Meaningful Conflict, and Diverse Worlds

​Celebrate Pride Month with a practical, hands-on workshop on writing inclusive queer fiction across genres! In this one-hour class, author and writing coach Dahlia shares her method for developing compelling queer characters, meaningful conflict, and settings that reflect the richness of diverse lived experiences. Whether you write romance, fantasy, contemporary, or speculative fiction, this session will help you tell stories that center queer lives with nuance, joy, and authenticity.

​Through a mix of theory, live demonstrations, and practical prompts, you’ll learn how to explore queerness as one facet of identity—not the only one. We’ll talk about casual queerness, intersectionality, and how to move beyond tokenism to craft layered, resonant characters and stories.

​You’ll leave with tools, questions, and inspiration for your next project.
