How to write about trans people with respect (on The Author Stack)

My guide to help you support and attract LGBTQ+ readers

I’m very excited to share my latest piece, How to Write About Trans People With Respect, on The Author Stack!

I pitched this piece to

Russell Nohelty

and was delighted by his enthusiastic response. We collaborated on researching and including a wide variety of resources and references.

If you’ve ever thought about creating a non-binary character for your novel, writing a memoir including a trans family member, or analyzing how gender roles affect you in our society, this guide is for you. Great, supportive, caring advice for how to represent yourself and others in a fair, respectful way.

And yes, this piece is tailored for authors and writers, however, the guidance is relevant for speaking about trans people in casual conversation, also!

I’m honored to be published on The Author Stack because I have learned so much from their articles and resources!

One sentence in particular from The Author Stack blew my mind and solidified my entire content strategy.

“There are those that seek to educate or report, those that seek to relate to others and make them feel seen, those that seek to inspire people into action, and those that seek to create an aspirational path for people to strive to achieve.”

The whole article is excellent—check it out:

I went from flailing wildly around with travel posts, personal stories, and half-hearted advice to telling relatable true stories, weekly.

If you want to find and grow your audience, learn how to sell a lot of books on Kickstarter, or want to commiserate on how hard it is to make money from writing, I highly recommend subscribing to The Author Stack!
