You are invited to the fifteenth #CripLit chat co-hosted by novelist Nicola Griffith, and Alice Wong of the Disability Visibility Project\u00ae on Sunday, December 9, 2018, 4 pm Eastern<\/strong>. We are delighted to have Marieke Nijkamp<\/a> and Brigit Young<\/a> join us in a conversation about writing, disability, and new Young Adult and Middle Grade fiction. Marieke is the editor of the YA short story anthology, <\/span>Unbroken: 13 Stories Starring Disabled Teens<\/span><\/i><\/a>, and Brigit is the author of <\/span>Worth a Thousand Words<\/span><\/i><\/a>, a new Middle Grade novel. We look forward to learning more about these great books\u2014just in time for holiday shopping season!<\/span><\/p>\n

Please note<\/strong>: This chat begins 3 hours earlier than our usual start time to take into account of the time difference between Europe and North America. Set your alarms and\/or reminders; you don’t want to miss it!<\/span><\/p>\n

Also note<\/strong>: These questions are for everyone. Our hope is that we can all self-promote a little and perhaps give eager readers ideas for gift-giving\u2014or to ask their library to order or independent bookstore to stock. We want to hear about all the marvelous #CripLit out there!<\/span><\/p>\n
