Wordgathering

Wordgathering is a digital literary journal founded in 2007 with a commitment to publishing work by writers with disabilities. Operating entirely online, it has cultivated a distinct space where poetics and disability politics intersect, offering a platform for voices often marginalized in mainstream literary culture. The journal's ethos is rooted in accessibility—both in its editorial practices and in the range of aesthetic approaches it welcomes—and it maintains a rigorous yet generous curatorial stance. Its core mission is to showcase the diversity of disabled experience through poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and visual art, without reducing contributors to mere representatives of identity.
