A Fantasy Series: Writing from Our Roots with Tigest Girma

For the second session in the series, Writing from Our Roots, Amie Kaufman will be joined by Tigest Girma and another author yet to be announced, as they discuss writing fantasy inspired by their culture.

Writing from Our Roots: Although fantasy used to centre European medieval analogues, we're now seeing a shift in the market, with more demand for stories from different cultures. This has brought the most wonderful wave of fantasy inspired by the cultures of the authors writing it. This is a thoughtful discussion on the authors experiences, the joys of writing about their cultures, and the barriers they've encountered in the market.
