SUMMARY:Queery-ing: Navigating Agents and Publishers While Queer
DESCRIPTION:2-hour class via Zoom \nWhat does a “very nice deal” mean in a publishing contract announcement? What’s a pre-empt? How does the trajectory from query to book deal normally work? Navigating the publishing industry is confusing at the best of times\, but when you’re also a marginalized writer\, it can feel overwhelming. In this 2-hour crash course\, we’ll spend the first half in lecture and information—including query letters\, industry language\, standard agent contract rates\, the differences of publishing houses\, and more—and the second half in Q&A\, all centering queer writers and the particular challenges they may face. \n*This class is intended only for writers who identify as queer\, trans\, and/or nonbinary. \nSliding scale: $50/$75/$100/$150 ($100+$50 scholarship donation)\nRegister here: https://www.milotodd.com/queery-ing-navigating-agents-and-publishers-while-queer/

SUMMARY:BBF Unbound: Writing Outside of Your Lane
DESCRIPTION:1-hour lecture via Zoom \nOver the past several years the publishing world (and its readers) have thankfully demanded more diversity within stories. But as welcome as this change is\, it can leave many non-marginalized writers with anxiety. How are you supposed to go about it? What if you mess up? Are you allowed to write about marginalized people at all? In this session facilitated by Milo Todd\, we’ll discuss common worries\, some do’s and don’ts\, engage in self-reflection questions\, and more. Writers will leave this session with more insight\, awareness\, and confidence to produce the most accurate and empathetic work they can. \nThis lecture is free.\nRegister here: https://bostonbookfest.org/festival/bbd-unbound/

SUMMARY:Writing Transgender Characters
