The Bookseller asked me to write about my experiences of disability and working in publishing. It’s the most terrifying and painfully honest thing I’ve ever written, but I hope it can be a useful part of the important ongoing conversations about diversity in the industry.

"We need to discuss practices that place productivity and profit over people, and workplace culture that sees sick days as moral failings rather than an inevitability of being human." A searing piece from @CatMitchell17 on disability in publishing: thebookseller.com/blogs/preventa…

Not celebrating Disability Pride is a missed opportunity to show that disabled people are a priority in publishing, to be both supported and celebrated, says Cat Mitchell (@CatMitchell17) 👇 #Echobox=1750410547" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thebookseller.com/spotlight/publ…

2. Sadly space is tight & we can't commission features but we'd love to hear from disabled/chronically ill authors/booksellers/publishing staff whether they think the publishing industry has improved for us over the past five years and if not, what would make most difference?

This piece covers a lot of the accessibility issues at LBF and although it became a bit of a giggle when I went last week, the difficulty of finding different levels/floors, finding lifts and the lack of signage/maps really was quite ridiculous for an event of this size!

I love joking about how Olympia is the seventh circle of autistic hell, but this article is so important - I had no idea there was a dedicated quiet space, but by the sound of it, that space was lacking anyway. Big kudos to Cat for spotlighting LBF’s accessibility issues!
