12/7 #RecLaPressAuthors
Twitter Chat:
Meet the Authors

You are invited to Meet the Reclamation Press Authors in our Twitter Chat hosted by #RecLaPress.

 

 

 

 

Join us to explore the reasons these disabled writers chose these topics for their books. We will ask them about becoming a writer, the idea that prompted them to write a book, how they deal with disability and intersectionality, and the challenges facing them as disabled writers.

We invite you you to ask these writers YOUR QUESTIONS.
