Participants will be encouraged to write either a response to one of these pieces, or a work exploring their own experiences.
This webinar is part of the Write-ability Goes Regional and Online program for writers with disability but is open to everybody.
Jessica Walton is a picture book author, teacher, daughter of a trans parent, and proud queer disabled woman. 'Introducing Teddy' (2016) is her first book, illustrated by the very talented Dougal MacPherson. Jess wrote it to help explain gender identity in a simple, positive way to her young son, after one of her parents came out as transgender. Jess lives in Melbourne with her wife, her two kids, and Archie the cat.
The Write-ability program is a partnership between Writers Victoria and Arts Access Victoria.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.
Write-ability is also supported by the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation and the Grace Marion Wilson Trust.
