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!!

Disclaimer: The articles in this blog and opinions expressed in the podcast, on videos, or during events or are not substitutes for medical or legal or other professional advice. 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 creatives who manage spoons.
