In this episode of Doing Diversity in Writing, Bethany and guest host Louvie Tucker talk about writing better male characters. This is the second part of a two-part episode on the topic.

Here’s what we talk about:

Physical representation of male characters
Derogatory language often applied to men and how we might handle it in fiction
Representation in media that we’ve found encouraging
Touch and intimacy (primarily nonsexual)
Using name calling as world building and character communication

And here are the (re)sources we mentioned on the show:

Tough by Terry Crews
The Mask of Masculinity by Lewis Howes
The Art of Manliness
White Rage by Carol Anderson
Reading biographies and memoirs in general.
Youtube Channel Writing with Jenna Moreci has two good videos on “10 Best Tips for Writing Male Characters”. We sincerely recommend her channel and these episodes in particular.
“How to Write a Damn Good Man” by Robert Wood: (this is the article quoted at the very end of the podcast recording) https://www.standoutbooks.com/writing-male-characters/

Films and novels we reference:

The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien
BBC’s Doctor Who (the current series)
BBC’s Sherlock series
The Visitor by Louvie Tucker
The Queen’s Enforcer by Ciara Darren

Find Louvie Tucker’s novel, The Visitor, here. Available in eBook and print form on Amazon, and as an eBook in most online stores.
