We love words and manage spoons

We’re writers and authors who also manage disabilities, states of being, and/or chronic conditions. This network is to educate and encourage and to share experiences and our love of words. Please contact us if you’d like to be a guest contributor or a featured author on our blog!!

The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in the blog or podcast or on our YouTube channel belong solely to the author/guest, and not necessarily to the management team of the Spoonie Authors Network.

PLEASE NOTE:

We at the Spoonie Authors Network condemn white supremacy and the systemic racism that upholds it, and we want to continue to be a safer place. We welcome disabled and/or autistic BIPOC creatives (and/or those who manage chronic conditions) to submit articles to us or request to be interviewed or to be part of our events.

The Spoonie Authors Network is a Dynamic Canvas Inc. community initiative project, in support of the written word of creatives who manage spoons.
