AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Write-ability is an award-winning program supporting disabled writers to develop their skills and writing careers. It began as a partnership between Arts Access Victoria (AAV) and Writers Victoria (WV) in 2012, with mentor-in-residence Fiona Tuomy and Kate Larsen, then Writers Victoria director, developing an effective, flexible and ground-breaking program based on the Social Model of Disability. Writers Victoria is now solely responsible for the program, but collaboration with arts, literary and disability organisations are vital to the program’s ongoing self-renewal.' (Introduction)

Special Issue no. 9 2019 16865993 2019 periodical issue 'As a writer and academic with a long-standing disability, I was both delighted and apprehensive at the thought of acting as editor for a collection of works themed on disability. Delighted, as the voices of disability have historically been under-represented and under-valued. Apprehensive, because these voices have traditionally been muted or warped by existing socio-cultural beliefs and expectations. I wanted to handle the material with a light touch; treat the experiences of the writers with respect; suspend my own attitudes and opinions around disability within a group of voices that brimmed with embodied knowledge and creativity' (Josephine Taylor Editorial introduction) 2019 pg. 60-61
