Hello Friends!

This is simply a quick post to say that I have a new essay published on the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) blog. It’s called “A Million and One Different Ways to Find Your Artistic Voice” because apparently, I have a thing for long titles.

Here’s the description.

A. T. Greenblatt, a Nebula Award winning writer and mechanical engineer in Philadelphia, shares insights into her own journey in finding her artistic voice. Her essay includes plenty of nuggets for other disabled creatives about perseverance, introspection, and community, each important parts of the journey towards finding a unique voice as an artist. Greenblatt also shares about her internal dialogue over disabled characters in her writing and what meaningful representation means

New Essay “How To Send Your Disabled Protagonist on an Adventure in 7 Easy Steps”

This is a first for me. I usually prefer to spend my writing time working on fiction, but for Uncanny Magazine’s Disabled People Destroy Fantasy Issue, I made an exception. Today, I’m pleased to say I have an essay in this issue called “How to Send Your Disabled Protagonist on an Adventure in 7 Easy Steps.”

This is something I’ve been thinking about for the last few years and have been trying to incorporate into my own fiction more often. The essay was surprisingly fun to write, because unlike the essays I wrote for school, now I could be sarcastic.

I hope you like it and find it useful. And as always, if you enjoy the content that Uncanny Magazine puts out, please consider supporting them.
