“Differently-abled authors bring perspectives that make literature richer, deeper, and more authentic—I’m honored to help ensure their extraordinary stories reach the hearts and minds ready to be transformed by them. Every voice deserves to be heard, and every story has the power to change the world—my greatest privilege is helping remove the barriers that stand between brilliant authors and the readers who need their words.”
