Square Peg Stories was an exciting opportunity for eight autistic participants to attend creative writing workshops and be mentored by industry leaders.

Between November 2016 and February 2017, participants took part in six creative writing workshops and two one-to-one mentoring days led by published authors. Over the course of the project, each participant wrote an original short story with support from their mentor.

Now, we're thrilled to announce that an anthology of those stories will be published on 24 June 2021. In Other Words is beautiful, hilarious, heart-breaking, mind-bending and above all it showcases the enormous talent of a group of people who are often stereotyped as being uncreative. It has an introduction by autistic writer and poet Joanne Limburg, and a foreword by the novelist David Mitchell.
