Accessibility in Publishing with Elizabeth Kellingley – Authors with Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses Network Meeting

Join us for our next online meet-up on Thursday 26 June from 2pm.

Elizabeth Kellingley is the Accessibly Manager and Accessibility Network Leader for Bloomsbury Publishing. She worked with backlist manager Duncan Honeyman and editorial assistant Gurdip Ahluwalia to create Bloomsbury’s first dyslexia-friendly books for adults. The list includes titles by Kiley Reid and Madeline Miller, and it has already had to double its print run due to high demand.

Elizabeth will be joining us to discuss members’ experiences with the publishing industry and what we feel could be done to improve the experience for everyone involved.

About the Authors with Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses Network 

The Authors with Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses network is a member-led peer support network aims to break feelings of isolation by connecting authors facing common experiences, in an online community that offers continuing professional and personal support.

We run monthly get-togethers using Zoom, where you can chat informally online with others. Depending on your computer or device, you can take part either using audio or video. Please let us know if you have any specific needs that will help you take part.

Our primary aim is to offer a friendly and supportive space where you can feel safe to ask questions, share experiences, offer advice, and make new connections. For more information, visit our Network page here.
