Writing Illness: Mental Health, Chronic Pain, & Disability – ASL Interpreted

Four panels curated by Sejal Shah
In 2020, Sejal Shah was awarded a grant from the Disability Visibility project to support creating an accessible virtual literary event. Working with Writers & Books, she has designed a day of four panels. Her grant underwrites Writing Illness and Beyond the Black and White Binary, offered admission-free to the public.

Writing Illness: Mental Health, Chronic Pain, & Disability – ASL Interpreted
How do we write authentically about illness or disability—both our own and those in our families and communities? Four writers explore different approaches to writing about and through illness—both visible and invisible—with care; and discuss writing as care work, advocacy, and activism in the time of COVID.
Panelists: Sopan Deb, Carley Moore, Sejal Shah.
Moderator: Sally Bittner Bonn
Admission-Free
