Do you have the tools to authentically write and edit a character whose identity is different than your own? It’s not a subject that’s generally taught in creative writing programs. There are few online resources, but in terms of craft books, what exists is outdated or limited in its scope. Some seminars and classes are offered by independent writing workshops, but can you learn everything you need to know in a three-hour seminar or even a four-week class? Not at all. You need a book on hand to provide guidance and insight as you craft characters with historically marginalized identities. That’s where this book comes in. Temblador will discuss Writing an Identity Not Your Own in a sit-down, interview-style discussion with Nimrod managing editor Hachi Chuku. Attendees will have a chance to ask questions as well as purchase copies of the text and get them signed by the author. Alex Tembladorreceived her MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Central Oklahoma in 2014 and became an author in 2018 with the publication of Secrets of the Casa Rosada by Arte Publico Press. Half Outlaw was published by Blackstone Publishing in 2022, while Writing an Identity Not Your Own was published by St. Martin’s Essentials in 2024. Her creative writing has appeared in anthologies like Living Beyond Borders: Growing Up Mexican in America and Speculative Fiction for Dreamers: A Latinx Anthology, as well as literary journals like Colorado Review, PALABRITAS, D Magazine, Cigale Literary Magazine, and Scissortale Review. https://www.alextemblador.com/ HachiChukuis the Managing Editor for Nimrod International Journal.
