Disney villains, disaster lesbians, and hot trans messes, oh my! In this 3-hour, two-day class led by Milo Todd, we’ll look at “good” messy queers, “bad” messy queers, stereotypes, redemption, interiority, and mainstream media representations. Along with a lecture segment, we’ll also take time to discuss some common anxieties when writing a complex queer character, brainstorm craft elements for your story, and engage in some writing exercises.

This workshop takes place over two Saturdays in a row--Saturday, March 12th and Saturday, March 19th, 2022 from 8:00 am PT - 11:00 am PT / 11:00 am ET - 2:00 p.m. ET.
