Details
SOWW Workshop Series Presents: Feminism in Science Fiction & Fantasy with Gina Denny. ✨
“Strong female character” isn’t a personality trait... it’s a starting point. This session breaks down what true feminist representation looks like in fantasy and sci-fi, using five actionable tips AND pop culture examples like Katniss Everdeen, Elizabeth Swann, Mystique, and General Organa. We’ll cover what to do, what to avoid, and how to write women who feel complex, intentional, and real.
Gina Denny is a writer, editor, publishing professional, speaker, and erstwhile music teacher. After more than a decade editing manuscripts for authors who saw success in both traditional publishing and self-publishing, she became an associate editor at a small independent press working on a wide range of genres. In 2021, she launched a freelance business that included work-for-hire and ghostwriting in addition to editorial services. Her writing and publishing advice reaches millions of viewers each month via social media and Patreon and she loves working with writing conferences as faculty or on the behind-the-scenes committees. She belongs to the Editorial Freelancers Association and is a non-agent member of the Association of American Literary Agents. She is the Operations Manager for Ayesha Pande Literary and its subsidiary, Pande Lecture Management.
