Spring Writes - Disability: It's Not Just a Buzzword

Register one time for all Spring Writes events here!

Workshop with Daley Downing. Whether it's physical or intellectual, genetic or the result of an unexpected life occurrence, adults and children everywhere are disabled, just trying to live their lives, and in many cases, share their stories. Mainstream media has often presented inaccurate and possibly hurtful portrayals of disabilities, leading to further marginalizing certain groups and perpetuating stereotypes among the general population. In this workshop, disabled author Jaclyn Smith (Daley Downing) will address some of the tropes in this niche genre, how to identify them as a reader, and hopefully not only avoid them but subvert them as a writer. This session will include time to examine a few writing prompts on different types of disabilities, and Q &A. daleydowning.wordpress.com
