'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)
