A hand wearing a candy necklace and a temporary tattoo holds a copy of Abbreviate, which features the same image as the tattoo.
What better @awpwriter.org book swag for my collection about late 1990s/early 2000s girlhood than candy necklaces and book cover temporary tattoos?! I’ll be reading and signing books in a few places at the conference (listed below), so come say hi and tell me your favorite middle school anthem!
There's still time to register for my free Zoom workshop on Discovering Disabled Forms and Structures this Friday!
A watercolor background fades from pink and orange to white. A dark purple AWP logo rests at an angle in the top left corner and the cover of abbreviate rests at an angle at the bottom left of the corner. Alternating purple and pink text reads, “Terrain.org book signing Thursday, March 5 @ 11-12 pm Booth 751 Small Harbor Press and Riot in Your Throat reading Thursday, March 5 @ 7 pm Bird in Hand (11 E 33rd St, Baltimore) Split/Lip Press book signing Friday, March 6 @ 11-12 pm Booth 644 Disabled & D/deaf Writers Caucus Friday, March 6 @ 5-6:15 Room 307, Level 300 Small Harbor Press book signing Saturday, March 7 @10-11 am Booth 452”
I'll be in Baltimore with my favorite writers and internet friends two weeks from today! Here's a schedule of where to find me at @awpwriter.org. Say hi, get book swag, show me photos of your pets!
I just posted one about developing disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent forms and structures!
A yellow background features an image of a pixie haired woman wearing round glasses and a cream-colored sweater smiling in a brightly lit forest. The logo for the University of Pittsburgh rests at the top of the page followed by black text reading, “Discovering Disabled Forms and Structures Writing Workshop with Sarah Fawn Montgomery Friday, February 27, 2026 from 2-3:30pm EST. The writing workshop is a space where power and privilege often demand disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent writers translate their lived experiences for abled audiences in order to be valued. Embodying ableist expectations is an act of erasure that injuries disabled spirits and silences disabled stories. But turning to disabled bodies and minds can be a source of great inspiration and innovation. In this interactive workshop, Sarah Fawn Montgomery will share strategies from Nerve: Unlearning Workshop Ableism to Develop Your Disabled Writing Practice, as well as her recent essay, “Medical Intake for Your Suffering,” to help writers discover disabled forms and structures for creative work. She will then lead participants through a short, low-stakes writing exercise (with no requirement to share) to consider various disabled forms and structures they might employ in their work, encouraging participants to reflect on how and why this approach to writing might tend to both their bodies and bodies of work. This event is part of "Creating a Culture of Access" programming, sponsored by The Writing Institute. Registration is required and can be done through the QR code or by visiting The Writing Institute website. Access questions and requests can be directed to Jessie Male at jem496@pitt.edu.” A QR code sits at the bottom of the page.
I’m thrilled to be collaborating with The Writing Institute at the University of Pittsburgh for the spring 2026 Creating a Culture of Access Series! I’ll be presenting a free Zoom writing workshop on “Discovering Disabled Forms and Structures” on Friday, February 27, 2026 from 2-3:30pm EST.
Excited to share my latest lyric essay in the new issue of Hunger Mountain! This borrows the form of convoluted and ableist medical intake paperwork, which any disabled person can tell you is often as exhausting as the actual experience of disability.

It's a fantastic company! I hope to see you there!
I would love that! Are you going to the disabled writers caucus? It's a great place to meet others.
I’m headed to AWP for the first time since my spinal injuries! I’ve got a few readings and book signings scheduled, but I’m looking to add a few more things to my Baltimore dance card so please reach out if you want to collaborate. And let me know if you’re up for a meal, a hug, or a catch-up!
Calling all disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent poets!

Celebrating late into the night hasn't stopped people from submitting on the first day of our spring submission window! We are officially open for submissions, so disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent writers, we hope you send work our way!
Halfway through the year, my partner and I decided to start a friendly competition to see how many novels we could read in 2025. I'm happy to report I lost this challenge because I only read 134 books this year while my partner read 151. Best contest I ever lost!
So happy we're spreading joy! And so thrilled to feature you in our inaugural issue!
My favorite holiday gift is eating warm pie and cold brussel sprouts for breakfast every day until next year!
