Authors with Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses (ADCI)
I founded Authors with Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses (ADCI) in collaboration with the Society of Authors because I realised there was a need for support and guidance for disabled authors.
ADCI launched in June 2020, at the height of the pandemic, when connection was even more important than ever. The response was immensely positive and the group became a place to meet new people, share experiences and build friendships. We have a Facebook group and monthly Zoom meetings.
The members of ADCI saw there were issues around inclusivity, adaptability and accessibility within the publishing industry and we set out to make things better for all disabled and chronically ill authors.
Authors with Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses (ADCI) is open to members of the Society of Authors. To find out more visit societyofauthors.org/Groups/Authors-Disabilities-Illnesses-Network
