A helpful piece about ableism in workshop feedback / expectations, by Sarah Fawn Montgomery:

"I wanted to write stories about bodies and brains like mine without having to justify that yes, this really did happen and, yes, I really did feel this way, and no, I was not exaggerating to garner attention or sympathy."

Electric Literature · To Tell My Disabled Stories, I Needed to Unlearn Ableist Workshop Critiques - Electric LiteratureI masked in workshop and on the page, even as it invalidated my lived experience
Continued thread

…/… 🖕 Alors nous avons un peu de retard avec les éditeurs & moi-même dans la réédition du livre, parce que nous sommes lents et que la lenteur c'est sexy. (Et beaucoup beaucoup beaucoup de contretemps d'urgences de précarité.)
Mais nous sommes heureux, ça avance tranquillement mais sûrement. Nouvelle couv', graphisme, préface, un petit article supplémentaire, meilleure mise en accessibilité de lecture… Et tout plein de réflexions sur l'accessibilité financière, car les bouquins c'est vite reuch et ça ne devrait jamais l'être.

On prévoit quand même de débarquer en 2024. 🍿

I've been inactive, so here's a new intro 🌞

I'm Amy, a novelist living on Darug land/Sydney. I write historical lesbian romance with a thriller twist, i.e. two women fall in love in the 50s-70s and also there's a murder; it's my fave formula. I also write poetry, short stories, zines (incl. LOVESICK, a queer lit anthology 💞) & I'm studying Creative Writing at WSU coz who needs a job anyway?

Replied in thread

@BlinkPopShift *waves* I'm a disabled science fiction writer. Though only my short stories sold this far. Hope to change that eventually.

We're a bit scattered, tho a lot of us are on disabled.social. some really like wandering.shop or eldritch.cafe.

i thought we had a goto hashtag, but brainfog making it hard to remember it.

Anyway, nice to meet you!

Hi there! I'm Ally, I write #QueerRomance and I mostly read #SFF or romance, usually #LGBTQIA historical or paranormal.

I live in the UK with Mr AL and two children one of whom is life limited; I garden, I knit, I have fibromyalgia and non-epileptic siezures.
