The whole Regency Fiction Writers conference had excellent presenters. I loved when you talked about the potential for power dynamics at the dinner table. In my YA WIP, a foreign girl is intensely aware of certain people scrutinizing how she eats , what she eats, and what she doesn’t eat.

Thank you! I really can’t overstate how important it is for those of us working on gastro/food horror to engage with each other’s work. Our conversations are strongest when we acknowledge the theoretical frameworks already shaping readings of these texts, rather than presenting ideas in isolation.
