During the 1992 Clarion West Writers Workshop attended by Nisi Shawl and Cynthia Ward, one of the students expressed the opinion that it is a mistake to write about people of ethnic backgrounds different from your own because you might get it wrong—horribly, offensively wrong—and so it is better not even to try. This opinion, commonplace among published as well as aspiring writers, struck Nisi as taking the easy way out and spurred her to write an essay addressing the problem of how to write about characters marked by racial and ethnic differences. In the course of writing the essay, however, she realized that similar problems arise when writers try to create characters whose gender, sexual orientation, and age differ significantly from their own. Nisi and Cynthia collaborated to develop a workshop that addresses these problems with the aim of both increasing writers’ skill and sensitivity in portraying difference in their fiction as well as allaying their anxieties about "getting it wrong." Writing the Other: A Practical Approach is the manual that grew out of their workshop. It discusses basic aspects of characterization and offers elementary techniques, practical exercises, and examples for helping writers create richer and more accurate characters with "differences."“The book is excellent. I highly recommend it. It should be read by every ‘dominant paradigm’ writer for that is its true audience. Recommended also for schools, colleges, and creativity workshops, and sociology classes.”—The Compulsive Reader“Along with personal experience and examples, the book presents exercises to help writers step outside their own ROAARS. The exercises, developed from workshops the authors have conducted, reward writers with learning more about developing characters—including those who are ‘just like’ themselves—and understanding past and present stereotypes.”—Paula Guran, Writers.com Newsletter Vol 9, no. 3“This book can help interested writers develop characters to exhibit the complexity of the human experience (and, since we’re talking genre here, multifaceted non-human experiences as well) [...] What I like best about this book is that Shawl and Ward encourage people to acknowledge their fears and concerns, but also to try anyway.”—Broad Universe, November 2007

If you think you are struggling with how to write people of a different race, religion, ability, gender, etc. than you, you should read this book; if you think you aren't struggling with how to write people of a different race, religion, ability, gender, etc. than you, you should read this book. Shawl and Ward lay out all the issues and pitfalls involved in attempting to write someone "other" to your own experience, while also remaining encouraging about the attempt (the need, really) to be inclusive in one's writing. The book includes not only advice and explanation, but writing exercises, essays, recommended reading, and an except from a novel written by Shawl herself. I found this book not only educational, but supportive, and I feel more confident in my ability to keep trying at being more inclusive as I move forward in my writing. If you are writing fiction today, this is essentially mandatory reading; for everyone else, it is highly recommended.
