Disabled Writers on How They Create
Share this event
Hear from writers Grace Spence Green (To Exist As I Am), Elspeth Wilson (These Mortal Bodies and Too Hot To Sleep) and Khairani Barokka (Ultimatum Orangutan, amuk and Annah, Infinite) as they read from their respective work and discuss their writing and creative practice.
Join us at this Access to Literature Symposium event where we’ll be exploring:
- The writers' approach to their work;
- What development looks like for them;
- What are the contingencies and the opportunities for developing their craft; and
- What types of creative spaces they need to thrive.
The conversation will be hosted and there will be the opportunity to ask questions.
Access:
BSL interpreted by Lynne Bateman and Jemima Hoadley.

About Access to Literature
Access to Literature is run by CRIPtic Arts and London Writers Centre. We are working with disabled trainers and partners New Writing South, the National Centre for Writing, Apples & Snakes and the Poetry Translation Centre to co-create a toolkit for change so disabled writers don’t have to fight for a space at the table. We’ll be sharing everything we learn through free videos and resources and offering a wide range of disabled-led training for the literature sector, ensuring that change to improve access can be truly embedded in every organisation’s practice.
Access to Literature is supported through public funding by Arts Council England.
