Rebecca Demarest returns to The Fiction Lab for a thoughtful, candid conversation on writing disability in speculative fiction. As an award-winning author, educator, and writing instructor—and a disabled writer herself—Rebecca brings both craft expertise and lived experience to the table. We dig into common pitfalls, meaningful representation, and how speculative worlds can offer space for richer, more authentic depictions of disability. Whether you’re worldbuilding, shaping characters, or rethinking your own assumptions, this episode offers insight that will elevate your storytelling.
