Perfect summary of the abelism which surrounds talk of disability in #Fantasy novels.
The assumption that disability is something to be solved, healed or cured is in itself abelist. It falsely suggests a world where disabled people need or want to be "fixed."
My birthday is coming in a few weeks and I would like to achieve the following milestone: Selling at least 46 copies of my books.
(For those who wonder, 46 refers to the age I'll then be.)
Will you help me?

WRITERS:
I've worked as an editor for some years now, both in traditional publishing and freelance. There are five questions to ask if you are worried about getting scammed in the publishing industry.
Let's say you have an offer from a publisher, who says they want to publish your book...
1) Are they asking for money? Then it's definitely a scam.
2) Are they contacting you before reading your manuscript? Then it's definitely a scam.
3) Do they want you to sign a contract before they have read any of your manuscript? Then it's definitely a scam.
4) Have they approached you out of the blue on social media, and messaged you in your DMs? Then it's definitely a scam.
But mostly...
5) Does it feel like a scam? Then it's definitely a scam.
