Access Questions for Self-Publishing
2024 Access Questions for Self-Publishing is a resource for thinking about what accessibility means within self- and independent publishing. It provides a framework of questions which aim to deconstruct normative narratives around publishing, and analyse the barriers disabled people experience in trying to access knowledge production and distribution. Critically examining the relationship between publishing, politics and collaboration, Access Questions for Self-Publishing encourages readers to develop their own methodologies that resist reenacting and reinforcing ableist publishing norms.
Featuring interviews with disabled practitioners Olivia Spring, Abi Palmer and D Mortimer. Initially developed as part of an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion staff research grant from the University of the Arts London in 2022, it has since gone on this autumn to be republished by Pagemasters, with illustrations by Tommy Brentnall.
