Who we are
Two Spoon Press is a small, disability-led publishing initiative committed to making space for disabled voices. As a disabled writer with cPTSD, fibromyalgia, and postural hypotension, I know firsthand how challenging the publishing world can be for disabled artists. Two spoon Press is a space is designed to adapt to your diverse needs. Work at your own pace, without compromising your wellbeing.
Here, access is built into the process. You can declare your access needs up front, but you don’t have to. Our systems are designed so we can pivot with you if your circumstances change. You might not be good keeping to a deadline, and that’s okay. We’ll get rid of them. Maybe you need captioned zoom meetings, or you struggle with track-changes for editing feedback. Every publishing pathway is tailored, negotiated, and adjusted. Flexibility isn't a bonus; it's the baseline.
We're here to publish your extraordinary work, and to make sure the process of getting it into the world doesn’t require you to mask your pain, hide your access needs, or burn out in the name of legitimacy.
