In this thought-provoking episode of the Authors on Mission podcast, host Danielle Hutchinson sits down with Simon Fanshawe, Officer of the Order of the British Empire, pioneering LGBTQ+ activist, co-founder of Stonewall, and author of "The Power of Difference." Simon challenges conventional diversity and inclusion approaches, advocating for collaboration through differences rather than enforcing conformity.

Key Tips You'll Discover:

• Research-Driven Writing: How to conduct extensive background research and question the provenance of evidence before formulating arguments
• Historical Context Strategy: Beginning chapters with historical stories to explore modern implications and engage readers
• Avoiding "I Think" Overuse: Presenting ideas for readers to engage with rather than stating personal opinions repeatedly
• The Power of Outside Perspectives: Why having others read drafts is crucial for challenging author assumptions and broadening accessibility
• Natural Humor Integration: Incorporating wit organically rather than forcing comedy into serious topics
• Argument Formulation: Creating dialectic experiences where readers encounter competing viewpoints

Simon shares his journey from stand-up comedian to diversity consultant, revealing how his experience building broad coalitions around equality (rather than demanding agreement) shaped his writing approach. He discusses writing during COVID-19 lockdowns, the "vibe shift" he sees in DEI approaches, and his concerns about orthodoxies that treat group experiences as too homogeneous.

Whether you're writing about complex social issues, looking to challenge conventional thinking in your field, or seeking to create more nuanced arguments in your work, Simon's approach offers valuable insights for authors tackling difficult topics.
