Panel, “The Future of Queer Aesthetics: How to Write Authentic LGBTQ+ characters,” Fri. Mar. 10 - 3:20pm - 4:35pm PST (Terrace Suite I, Summit Building, Seattle Convention Center, Level 4)

This panel will feature established queer authors and teachers of creative writing discussing the current state of queer aesthetics and how to write about, critique, and revise works about LGBTQ+ characters and experiences in the workshop setting. What does it mean to create an authentic queer character on the page? In an era when queer issues are simultaneously progressing and at risk of reactionary backsliding, how do we confront otherness in our work and the work of our students?
