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 of the blog or a featured author on our podcast!!

Disclaimer: The articles in this blog and opinions in the podcast are not  substitutes for medical advice. The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in the blog or podcast 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 on the Spoonie Authors Podcast.

The Spoonie Authors Network is a Dynamic Canvas Inc. project, in support of the written word of those who count spoons.
