Female authors in particular must navigate these demands alongside an often toxic internet culture which can make these digital spaces unpleasant and even unsafe to participate in, and leaves them vulnerable to online harassment.
Jessie Tu is a novelist, critic, and journalist for Women’s Agenda, with a wealth of diverse professional experience working in digital media — and all that comes with it. In celebration of International Women’s Day, Jessie will share her observations on and experience of what it means to be online as a woman, and how you can navigate that space with care. Jessie will discuss:
Whether you’ve personally experienced the challenges of navigating digital media as an author, or you would like to better understand that experience, this is an opportunity to gain vital insight into this particularly demanding aspect of the industry and equip yourself to engage with it in a healthy and positive manner.
There will be time for questions.
