Inklusion

The ‘Inklusion guide: a kickass guide to making literature events more accessible to disabled people’, summarises best-practice accessibility across hybrid, online and in-person events.

We’ve created an accessible and comprehensive access guide for UK literary sector organisations to use when planning events.

Covering accessibility for both invited speakers and audience members, the guide outlines access for various events — from book launches, festival events, conferences, panels, workshops, fellowships, to residencies. It includes information on running in-person, online, and hybrid events.

Our aim is that the guide is a centralised resource that’s accessible and easy to use. It’s for:

• small and large organisations alike
• freelance authors
• individuals to self-advocate.

We wanted to take the onus and emotional labour off disabled individuals to educate events providers and publishers.

The guide is directly informed by disabled writers and other disabled people working in publishing, as well as current research into accessibility in the industry.
