Negotiating Access Needs with Polly Atkin – Authors with Disability and Chronic Illnesses Network Meeting

Join us for our next online meet-up on Thursday 22 May from 2pm.

ADCI member Polly Atkin will join us again, this time to talk about how to negotiate your access needs. Last year her memoir exploring place, belonging and chronic illness, Some Of Us Just Fall, was published by Sceptre in summer 2023. She navigated the publishing experience and also attended many literary events, so she will share her tips on how to work with the industry to ensure your access needs are met.

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.
