The word crip was once used to discriminate. Today, it is reclaimed and celebrated.
Crip Stories is a gathering of vibrant and diverse experiences from disabled people. Bringing together memoir, essays and poetry, these writers explore creativity, care, rage and refusal. Together, they offer a celebration of disability pride and community.

‘Weaving together audacious truth-telling, tender lyricism, startling humour and uncategorisable wildness, Crip Stories leaves all the stale tropes about disability and neurodivergence far behind in the dust. These stories create a myriad of alluring desire lines for us all to follow, and artful, handcrafted bowers in which to find rest along the way. A spacious resource for now and for the future.’ – Andy Jackson
