Everyone has a story to tell, and in the lead up to the International Day of People with Disability on December 3, we want you to tell your stories of life with a disability.
The ABC is looking to commission a series of articles by writers with a disability from across Australia.
Who: To be eligible you must live in Australia, be over 18, have a disability and be available to work on your article in October/November. You do not need to have previous writing experience.
What: We want you to pitch an ideas for a digital article about disability — it can be about anything, as long as it's non-fiction and your original idea. It could be your lived experienced, an issue you see affecting your community, a stereotype you want to dispel or a celebration of life as a person with a disability. If your idea is successful, you will work with an editor in October/November to write an 800-word digital article that will be published by the ABC online. You will be paid for the article.
How: Tell us your idea for a story in 100 words or less in the form below or by emailing raabus.carol@abc.net.au. Submissions close midnight October 18.
The ABC is using the Screendoor tool to collect your story pitches. This Collection Statement applies to any information you provide.
This callout is now closed. We'll be in touch with entrants shortly.
