Join author Jes Battis as they discuss how urban fantasy blossoms within cities, towns, and communities, and how we can build fantastic “otherwheres” that address inequalities within our own world. Jes will discuss the history of the genre, developing queer and trans characters (and worlds), and intersecting experiences and how the magic of urban fantasy allows us to portray those complexities.

 

Presenter: Jes Battis
Date: Wednesday, August 30, 2023
Time: 7:00 – 8:30 pm (ET)
Length: 90 minutes (including Q&A)
Level: Basic +
Type: Informational
