Nine books by Disabled writers

It’s Disability Day!

Here is my annual book stack to celebrate Disabled writers! This stack features memoir, middle grade fiction, a handbook and graphic novels.

Go find these at your bookstore or library. Some are available in multiple accessible formats – paperback/hardcover, ebook and audio. Most of the authors are tagged on Instagram, too – so give them a follow!

📚My Friend Fox – Heidi Everett
📚Year of the Tiger – Alice Wong
📚The Future is Disabled: Prophecies, Love Notes and Mourning Songs – Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha
📚 Mooncakes – Wendy Xu and Suzanne Walker

📚 The Secret of Haven Point – Lisette Auton
📚 Sipping Dom Pérignon Through A Straw – Eddie Ndopu
📚 Disability Rights in Real Life – Equality Lawyers (this is free!)
📚 Eventually Everything Connects: Eight Essays on Uncertainty – Sarah Firth

(These link to paperback/hardcover editions sold by Australian retailers and publishers – google the titles for details of books and accessible formats in your country.)
