Writing
"Own Voices" deserve to be heard, and people, especially underrepresented people should get to tell their own stories. But, does that mean we can only write about characters that look like us and have the same background? Taken to a logical extreme, can men ever write authentic female characters?
Where are the lines when it comes to "writing the other?" When does the folk process become cultural theft or exploitation?
What is the role of "sensitivity readers" in all this?
