“One billion people (or the equivalent of 15 percent of the global population) experience a form of disability. For some, it’s more overt, and for others, it’s completely unseen as an invisible disability.” [1]
“There are many examples of creative people who have not allowed disability to dictate the limits of their potential. Whether the onset of disability has occurred at birth, in childhood or adulthood, if the creative person’s spirit is strong enough, there seems to be no end to what people can achieve.
There are many authors who have not let their disability stop them achieving artistic success. Here is a list of some of writers who overcame obstacles that would have held back less determined souls.” [2]
“Each of these authors has a very different story, but they share one thing in common—all of them overcame great obstacles in writing their well-known works. We want to celebrate the strength and success of these authors who refused to let their disability stop their success and ability to follow their passion for writing. They are inspirational!” [4]
