Start writing YOUR Queer Story with Confidence!
And stop letting Tropes hold you back!
Tropes should not stop you from writing!
Tropes are one of the big issues in queer representation, and now that we are aware of them and working to fix the problematic treatment of queer characters, let’s just say they can be a problem on a different level.
The paralysis that comes from not wanting to play into tropes can fully prevent a story from flourishing, and that is a tragedy.
This guide will take you through 5 different ways you can tackle queer tropes and then dive deeper into specific tropes you could be dealing with.
Breaking down the core trigger for the tropes and the societal history around them, we take a dive into each of the chosen tropes to bring clarity to your story and how you can tackle your trope(s) with care and curiosity.
So let’s get writing!
Hi I’m Bridget!
I am a writer and filmmaker from Canada. I have been writing since I was a teenager (currently 31) and have been obsessed with learning all I can about it within the last ten years.
I have moved through several mediums of storytelling, from comics to film to novels. With this, I have always gone back to my love for solid storytelling in the narrative form.
Queer representation is my biggest passion, and I am set on sharing that passion with you and helping you create the queer story of your dreams so that all of us can feel more seen in the media.
