(Update, Feb 2020: Clarion West redid their FAQ this year, and paid me to incorporate much of this post’s content into it! So go read their FAQ. There’s a little material in here that isn’t in there, mostly about my own personal experience, but the FAQ is more current.)
In Summer 2016 I attended Clarion West, a six-week residential writers workshop. I’m disabled, and before I went I worried about whether I would be able to handle it. This post is about disability-relevant aspects of Clarion West, and I’m writing it to help other disabled people figure out whether it’s realistic for them to attend.
