Some great parts, some mediocre. The chapters on POV, publishing, and character are great and unique to what I’ve seen elsewhere. Other chapters, however, are ho-hum and about what you’d find on the blog of a helpful editor. Still, the POV and publishing chapters (and voice to a lesser extent) were so good that I had to give it four stars. The POV chapter writer made two references to autism that seemed totally unnecessary and offensive but I didn’t notice any other major issues.

Decent introduction to queer history but might have less new info to offer former readers on sexuality, gender, and feminism. There are plenty of great reading suggestions inside, which is nice. A few critiques- I found a few instance of odd wording/ grammar or punctuation errors though they didn’t bother me much. Also, the drawings or graphic element of the book was much more minimal than I expected and not at all like a graphic novel of a textbook, which is what I was hoping for.
