Kit and Cate are back!<3 Welcome to Season 3 of the Writer at Work Podcast.
Today we're discussing how to make sure you're representing LGBT+ (or Gender and Sexual Minorities- GSM) folks in your writing, how to write people different from you, and how to make realistic romantic relationships.
Just as a quick note: Cate talks from her perspective- hetero and cis. Kit talks from her perspective- pan and cis. But we do try to be broad in our inclusion and descriptions.
