Disability Visibility Book Circle 2020
Raymond Luczak • J. Albert Mann • Amber McDowell Lateef McLeod • John Poehler • H. M. PSYCHOSOCIAL Sejal Shah • Maxfield Sparrow
The coronavirus pandemic has changed everyone’s lives. It is a privilege to have a book published and yet the pressure to promote can be incredibly difficult and inaccessible for many disabled writers at the best of times but especially now.
With book tours and launches delayed or postponed, the Disability Visibility Book Circle gave one-time grants of $1000 for 13 disabled writers in the US who already have books published this year or plan to have books published in 2020 through June 30, 2021:
- Kay Ulanday Barrett
- Ellen Chang
- torrin greathouse
- Porochista Khakpour
- Robert Kingett
- Raymond Luczak
- J. Albert Mann
- Amber McDowell
- Lateef McLeod
- John Poehler
- H. M. PSYCHOSOCIAL
- Sejal Shah
- Maxfield Sparrow
The express purpose of this money is for writers to organize their own book event via video conference with captioning and ASL interpreters. Congratulations to these writers!
