In her introduction to the anthology, @LouiseKenward @ZebraPsych emphasises how vital it is that we listen to the stories of those experiencing illness and disability. In Disturbing the Body, we bring these voices to the fore through speculative memoir.

It's one month today until we publish DISTURBING THE BODY, an anthology of speculative autobiography about disturbed bodies!
We'll have exciting news about launch events coming up very soon, and we hope you'll pre-order the book via @Lighthousebks...

Not long not until the launch date! So excited! Pre-order link below...
Could this insight from @Verity_Holloway's introduction to DISTURBING THE BODY be any more true? Over the next few weeks leading up to publication, we'll be sharing more sneak peeks from the anthology...

Happy LGBT History Month! As we can't do in-person events this year, @LGBTHM have shared our #burnleyplays (by me and @stephenmhornby), and you can stream them both for FREE until after Easter (6 April).
Watch both short plays for the full experience!

"There is a fundamental problem with our understanding of illness. It’s something the pandemic has highlighted... wellness and illness are not binary constructs." Check out this piece from Boudicca author @LouiseKenward: zebrapsych.wordpress.com/202…
