“Dudes: If you consider yourself a feminist and an ally and if your heart goes out to all the women who have been abused in the workplace but don’t know what to do, be a pal and tell three women you work closely with how much you make.”

“A character that scares you is worth exploring. Yet if you breathe life into a character and it comes to you too easily—say you’re writing from the viewpoint of a black man in America and you’re not one? Think hard about where your inspiration is coming from. Are you writing stereotypes? Tropes? Are you fetishizing the otherness? Whose ideas are you spreading? Really consider how you transmit certain optics over others. Think about how much power that is.”
