Optional: Are there any public statements in which the author talks about having the same disability as their character? Please link us to the source.

We ask this question because we prioritize novels by disabled authors.

Optional: Have you read any reviews by people with the same (or a similar) condition as the protagonist, and if so, could you link us to these reviews?

Reading the opinions of other disabled people helps us a lot, even if we never end up adding the book to the Honor Roll.

NOTE: Please do not ask any author or reviewer about their disability or lack thereof. If they’ve spoken about their disability openly, we’d love to know about it, but we do not want anyone to feel pressured into disclosing or discussing their disability.

If you're the author/reviewer, we want to stress that this section is optional. Alternatively, if you wish to tell us but not make it public, that’s fine too. Just let us know, and it’ll stay within the editor team.

Optional: Are you in a position to send us a review copy so we can consider the book? If so, please leave your name and email address so we can contact you.

Optional: If you want to expand on any of your answers, share your name/contact information, tell us what you loved about the book, or share anything else, this is the place.
