Increasing disability accessibility in publishing

Learn how to navigate the publishing industry while disabled or chronically ill.

It can be hard to ask for what you need, especially in an industry with very little understanding of disability.

Hannah Knowles, publishing director at Faber Books, Hayley Steed, literary agent at Janklow & Nesbit UK, Lisette Auton, author and award-winning poet, and chaired by Claire Wade, award-winning author and founder of the network Authors with Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses (ADCI), discuss the best ways of navigating the publishing industry while disabled or chronically ill.

This session was in conjunction with the Authors with Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses Network (ADCI).
