Why Take this course?
As a writer, your words will have an impact on your reader’s life whether they notice it or not. Being able to write authentic characters who are unlike yourself can be a daunting task. Having a POC teach you the inner workings of a community you are not a member of will allow you to connect with your readers on a deeper level. Your contribution to society through your words will allow your readers a chance to see themselves within the pages.
implicit bias
What is implicit bias? – Attitudes, stereotypes, and beliefs that can affect how we treat others. Thoughts and feelings are implicit if we are unaware of them or mistaken about their nature.
We’ll cover the 6 different types of bias commonly found in books today and how to ensure you don’t write them in your books.
Nuances of colorism
Did you know that colorism is a huge issue within the BIPOC community?
We’ll discuss exactly what colorism is and the negative impact it has played on marginalized communities. After which, you’ll be able to write multi-dimensional characters that your reader will be able to connect to.
intent vs. impact
Although you may have started out by developing a character with the intent of making a positive impact, it may be doing more harm than good.
This is a very common obstacle for writers and by the end of this course, you will be able to ensure your characters are as authentic as possible.
Where is the diversity in books?
One of the best ways to bridge the gap and bring more diversity to books is to write more authentic characters who represent communities unlike your own. It’s more important than ever to write those characters correctly and leave out what you “think” they are like. You need to create characters that represent the marginalized exactly how they are without any bias.
That’s where this course comes in. You will walk away knowing that your character is adding to the solution and not the problem. You can and will make a huge difference in the world through your words.
You are the gatekeeper!

The Diversity and Cultural Sensitivity Training for Authors is specifically designed to equip you with the lates principles and techniques that are working today.
You’ll get step-by-step, along with Q&A recordings to guide you through writing the most critical diversity topics you need to build a story that will connect with a broader audience.
I’ve tailored this course to be used across all genres of writing. During the webinar there will be a Q&A time where you can get live feedback on your work to ensure you are getting the best out of the program.
I have worked with so many authors who have the same questions. They want to know if their work is culturally accurate, if it is offensive, did they use the right wording was correct, etc. It became obvious to me that a service to help authors would grant me the ability to reach a wider audience.
You can set up a phone call to discuss your work in greater details. All I ask is for you to send me the pages in question so I can review them before our call to make sure I have all the details beforehand.
