Interviews – December 2019

Interviews in this issue highlight the work of two contemporary disabled fiction writers. Novelist Nicola Griffith discusses her books So Lucky and Hild together with some of her views about writing and disability. Cyperbunk novelist Dora Raymaker talks about Hoshi and the Red City Circuit, neurodiversity, sci-fi writing, and her upcoming work. In addition, Wordgathering prose editor Sean Mahoney, who founded the Disability Literature Consortium, reminds readers about the role of DLC in getting out the work of disabled writers and the importance of supporting these writers and their work.
