This weeks episode is the second part of the conversation started last week about learning about what diverse representation in fiction really looks like. The Ink Drinkers sat down with Ruthie Bowles to talk sensitivity reading, the dark side of BookTok, what makes good representation in fiction and some common problems new writers have when it comes to writing diversely. The Ink Drinkers want to thank Ruthie for her emotional labour and hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it!
Ruthie is an audiobook narrator and sensitivity reader. After serving in the Army for 10 years, she spent 5 years in marketing before embracing her love of books as her profession. Fun fact about Ruthie: she has a homestead with goats and chickens as part of her daily routine! You can find Ruthie sharing her work as a narrator and more on TikTok at Ruthie.Narrates.Books.
