Announcing the Growing Up Disabled in Australia contributors and cover

December 24, 2019 Carly Findlay Leave a Comment

Black Inc. is pleased to announce the contributors to its new anthology, Growing Up Disabled in Australia.

Image: a book cover. It’s an abstract drawing featuring pink, yellow and purple coloured scribbles  on a real background. “Growing Up Disabled in Australia” is in white capital handwritten style text in the middle of the book, and “Carly Findlay” in capital yellow text at the bottom.

Editor Carly Findlay says: “I am so excited to announce the contributors for Growing Up Disabled in Australia. It was such an honour reading through over 360 submissions – one of the best jobs I’ve ever had. The quality of writing is extraordinary, and there is a definite hunger from disabled people to tell their stories (and to read others’ stories).

“Choosing the contributors was a hard task – I wish we could have included many more. I’m proud of everyone who submitted and encourage those who didn’t get into this anthology to keep writing and find other opportunities for their work. 

“This anthology shows the diversity of disability – not just in terms of impairments, but also experiences. I took an intersectional approach when selecting the work.

“I can’t wait to launch this book and see these writers fly. I hope it creates a sense of identity and belonging to a community – for the contributors and for readers. 

“Congratulations everyone.”
