SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Writing Medicine Authentically in Speculative Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 24\, 202612:00–1:15 pm ETFree\, Online via Zoom—Register for Link\n\n\n\nMedicine is an integral part of our lives—and\, often\, our stories. In this presentation\, author and pathologist Kyrie Wang will discuss the importance of authentic representations of medicine in fiction\, including how to incorporate medical content into your writing and avoid common mistakes. Join us as we explore medicine as not only scientific practice but also a cornerstone of society\, culture\, and world-building. \n\n\n\nThis discussion will be focused on medicine in speculative fiction\, but writers of all fiction genres are encouraged and welcome to join. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\nKyrie Wang is a medical mystery detective (fancy words for “pathologist\, MD”) by day and a dreamweaver of historical fantasy by night. Pencil on paper makes her cry and laugh\, and every book she writes is like living another life. She loves writing stories where people discover their true selves\, goodness wins\, and the forgotten and voiceless become heroes. When she isn’t peering through a microscope or building hamster toys with her daughter\, Kyrie is at her keyboard\, chasing the next adventure. \n\n\n\nFor a free novel\, The Thief’s Keeper (An Enemy’s Keeper Prequel)\, please visit www.kyriewang.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Zoom link
