Award-winning author Alex Temblador has bias -- and that's okay. In fact, it's normal. You have bias, too.  In this laid-back, welcoming workshop, the author of Writing An Identity Not Your Own will discuss unconscious bias, how it shapes the way we see the world, the world sees us, and how it may present itself in creative writing and literature. Alex will lead participants through writing exercises and discussion -- and even set aside some time for a short Q&A. This writing workshop is open to writers and non-writers alike who want to learn more about biases, themselves, and writing.
