Hey friends! I made a thing and now it’s out in the world today. It’s wild to see an idea turn into something you can hold in your hand. My anthology, Disability Visibility: First Person Stories from the 21st Century, features work by 37 amazing disabled people. I hope you love it as much as I do.
The anthology is available in paperback, e-book, and audiobook (multiple retailers). You can find out more about the book including links to a plain language version by Sara Luterman and discussion guide by Naomi Ortiz: https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/book/
Check out these upcoming events this summer! More to come later this year.
