    About this series

    How do you write a fat positive character?

     

    You care about writing diversely. You know how important it is to have accurate representation in your stories. You want to include characters whose experience is outside of yours. It's easy to find examples of writing gone wrong, but where do you start to get it right? 

     

    Writing Fat Positive Characters: An Incomplete Guide can help. Written and collaborated by several of Salt & Sage's fat editors and sensitivity readers, this guide is a compilation of important things you should know before you sit down to write a fat character. You'll find 10 of the most common tropes and concerns as identified by our talented staff, with links, explanations, and ideas for how to write your fat character authentically and with real respect.

     

    By no means is this exhaustive, but it is a great place to start.

     

    Disclaimer: No one book or perspective can reflect the diverse experiences of fat folx, nor should you use this as your only guide. We strongly encourage you to hire a sensitivity reader (or several!), to listen to fat voices, to read #ownvoices books by fat authors.
