I won’t be online at the time you’re chatting with Cathy but I wondered if someone wouldn’t mind bringing up this particular point?

Australian laws are different to American laws regarding ‘freedom of speech’ and Aussie (and I believe, Canadian) writers have to be extremely careful about the ages of the characters they write about. From the looks of things, OTW will have a legal team that will assist (confer?) with people being sued/harassed by media groups to pull down their fiction - does OTW have a policy/suggestions/a way to help writers who include fictional characters under the age of eighteen in their work?
