Cait Gordon

Editor in chief, Spoonie Authors Network

Cait Gordon created the Spoonie Authors Network in 2016. Her advocacy is primarily focused on boosting the works and voices of authors from the Disability/Deaf/Spoonie/Mad communities. She is a Canadian autistic and disabled author of speculative fiction that celebrates the reality of diversity. Her short story, The Hilltop Gathering (We Shall Be Monsters, ed. Derek Newman-Stille), features a disabled protagonist and was discussed at a symposium about Frankenstein at Carleton University. Cait also joined Talia C. Johnson to co-edit Nothing Without Us, which was taught at a disability studies course at Trent University and earned a Prix Aurora Award nomination. When not arranging words, Cait advocates for disability representation and is the founder of the Spoonie Authors Network. She lives in Ottawa with her husband, Bruce.
