Disability Writes
Last updated: 15th Feb, 2008
This website has been set up by Just Services with funding from Arts Council England. Many disabled people face barriers in getting support and encouragement to write. This may be because there is:
- A lack of physical access to places where non-disabled people find such support.
- A lack of understanding, or an unwillingness to listen to the support needed by disabled people.
- An unwillingness to consider that what disabled writers have to say is of value.
- An unwillingness to give honest, constructive feedback to disabled people and so on…
Disabled people can register to the site and receive constructive feedback on their writing through the work in progress section. We don’t judge people on their spelling and grammar. We do encourage good quality writing.
Could Disability Writes be the very first website specifically for disabled writers to get support and feedback for their writing?
You can also post your work on this website for feedback to improve it, before entering it into mosaic’s seventh creative writing competition.
