You'll find 10 of the most common tropes and concerns as identified by our talented staff, with links, explanations, and ideas for how to write your fat character authentically and with real respect.By no means is this exhaustive, but it is a great place to start.Disclaimer: No one book or perspective can reflect the diverse experiences of fat folx, nor should you use this as your only guide. We strongly encourage you to hire a sensitivity reader (or several ), to listen to fat voices, to read #ownvoices books by fat authors.
