This session brings together contributors and editors of Mascara Literary Review’s new anthology Crip Stories to discuss the vibrant and diverse experiences of disabled people – from living with chronic illness to navigating the world with physical, neurological or neurodevelopmental disabilities.  

Join contributing writers Akii Ngo, Ann Nguyễn and Arty Owens, and anthology co-editors Laura Pettenuzzo and BS Windon, for a discussion about what it means to write disability, the importance of amplifying first-person narrative voices with lived experience, and how their work advocates for disability rights, intersectionality, accessibility and inclusion.  

In partnership with Emerging Writers’ Festival 
Supported by Creative Australia and Mascara Literary Review
