Writing an Identity Not Your Own: A Guide for Creative Writers by Alex Temblador

5.0

I am not a writer, though I went to school for creative writing, I enjoy editing and critiquing far more than writing stories. I really enjoyed reading this book and plan to integrate some of the book lists and additional articles into my dual-credit literature course I teach. This is a concept my class discusses a lot. This guide was very eye opening and informative. I really enjoyed the tropes and stereotypes it opened my eyes to some of the cliche sayings that I use and how those can be harmful. This book isn’t just for writers I think it is beneficial to readers as well. We, as readers, have to help keep writers honest, in a kind way, about their writing of other identities. Pick this one up when I comes out!
