This practical workshop aims to introduce different forms of inclusive writing and unravel the myths that surround them. For example, the ingrained belief that inclusive writing unnecessarily clutters text is just not true! Grrrr!

The workshop covers three inclusive writing practices (epicene, feminization, and nonbinary writing), which can be applied depending on the text and its target readership.

In short, an introduction to inclusive writing that melts like butter on all tongues.

*The inclusive writing workshop is a complement to the guide signed and self-published by Les 3 sex* and Club Sexu.

*Workshop available in French only
