This is Video 5 in a series of five videos that make up part of the project entitled "Turning the page: a best practise guide to writing cultural diversity in fiction". This UK Arts Council funded project offers insight into diversity in the publishing industry and guidance on tackling cultural appropriation and stereotyping in literature and how authors can approach writing characters outside of their ethnicity. These videos will be released over five weeks in October and November 2021, culminating in an online event with author and project leader Vaseem Khan where a free-to-download PDF guide accompanying the series will be launched. At that event Vaseem will offer further insight into the project and answer questions raised by these often highly-charged topics. With thanks to the project partners: Hachette UK, Society of Authors, Crime Writers Association, Spread the Word and A.M. Heath.
