Crossing Borders: Genre Writing As Resistance

“Tell all the Truth but tell it Slant” Emily Dickinson

From historical to sci-fi, horror to fairytale, every genre of writing offers different slants on the truths of eco-crisis and injustice. Genre-writing has long been used to resist oppression, subvert the status quo and share radical ideas with new audiences.

This session brings together rebellious writers to discuss how we can use diverse genres to break through denial, challenge assumptions and inspire new thinking. Through a lively panel discussion and practical exercise, we’ll take a romp across genres, try writing beyond our comfort zones, and explore techniques to engage readers—slant-wise—with painful truths.

On the panel are Lindz Mcleod, Annouchka Bayley and Linh S Nguyen.
