It has been a dream of mine to plan a writing event for disabled writers - and now its happening! Writing Dis'stories is a free two-day creative writing workshop series for aspiring and established disabled writers on the 26th (at Bournemouth University) and 27th April (online)

In the lead up to Disability History Month, I'm dipping my toes back into the Twitterverse after a break by sharing the news that one of my flash-fictions has been published. Thanks @flashficmag for finding a home for my story. https://t.co/m69Zk0Y2SB

Today, a mother-of-three has been jailed for 28 months after using abortion pills to end her own pregnancy.

No woman can ever go through this again.

We need abortion law reform in Great Britain NOW.

The last 2 days of Writing Dis'stories has been so fulfilling. Some incredible dis'stories were written, great discussions and a real sense of community. Thank you @bournemouthuni @HumanitiesUoS for funding this event and to my colleagues for their support.

[Charlotte Web @thecharlotteweb]

And it was lovely meeting all who attended, I thoroughly encouraged our conversations, in person and over Teams.

[Charlotte Web @thecharlotteweb]

Really interesting and important insights from @penny_author at #writingdisstories today. Thanks to everyone who attended, I loved meeting you all and hearing your stories!

[Penny Batchelor - Author @penny_author]

Really enjoyed talking about what good disability representation in novels looks like and how to achieve it today at the Writing Dis'stories event. Thanks for the very insightful questions.

Delighted to be joining Writing Dis’stories in a few moments to lead a workshop on writing with emotions. Congratulations @thecharlotteweb on bringing this dream to life! #writingforwellbeing

It’s been a very busy week, but a highlight of it was speaking on the radio (BBC) with @SteveHarrisDJ about disabled role models, inaccuracies in representation and platforming writing by disabled people. Happy Friday!

[Charlotte Web @thecharlotteweb]

@DrYuginTeo @UoBrisEnglish @CambridgeUP @CUP_LitPerform @hlbu7 @BU_Research Congratulations Yugin! Amazing stuff

[Charlotte Web @thecharlotteweb]

Excited to be on @BBCRadioSolent tomorrow morning at 7:50 to discuss the Writing Dis’stories event that I have organised for disabled writers. Within this space, I’m hoping that we can use writing to challenge inaccuracies in representation & narrate the issues important to us
