One of the helpful things about working on the Xena Virtual Season was getting feedback from people different than me, which is helpful if you want to appeal to a larger audience. In my case, a cis het male, it’s essential when writing for Xena. Was this exposure enough? No. It’s never enough in an ever-changing world. I made sure I got such feedback on my current project as well. This is why I supported larger writer rooms for SAG negotiations: a single writer can do a lot, but in a popular medium like television it’s impossible for one person to do it all without  diverse input.
