Etta is a writer in many forms. They are also a disabled community advocate with a strong grounding in disability rights.

Their work has been featured in the collections Rapture: An Anthology of Performance Poetry from Aotearoa New Zealand (AUP) and Otherhood Essays on being childless, childfree and child-adjacent (MUP). In 2023 they published Articulations, their first collection of essays, which explores, disability, queerness and twinship with Tender Press. They live in Te Whanganui-a-tara wellington with an overprotective tuxedo cat. 

Working with me:

I am a neurodivergent wheelchair user working in my own space and time. I love collaborating, creative advisory roles, dreaming of an inclusive world and helping other people to do the same. I have successfully done so on Aotearoa and international projects. I am happy to share more details of my needs and how we can work well together if I am being seriously considered as a collaborator on a project. 

Their work can be found in:
