Disability in Kidlit

Disability in Kidlit discusses the portrayal of disability in MG and YA fiction. We review books featuring major disabled characters, discuss tropes, and offer advice to authors wanting to include disabled characters in their works.

Although we focus on MG and YA novels by major publishers, much of what we post can be applied to all fiction and other media (and real life, too).

The main project is housed at our website, but we'll be cross-posting excerpts and reblogging relevant content here.

Looking for books featuring characters with a certain disability? Feel free to send an ask!
