For our Summer 2026 issue, Disability: The Revolution! The Fiddlehead has brought on a team of amazing editors! We are going to take some time over the next couple of weeks to introduce them!
We are so excited to have disabled author and activist Amanda Leduc overseeing and serving as fiction editor for the issue!
Amanda Leduc is the author of DISFIGURED: ON FAIRY TALES, DISABILITY, AND MAKING SPACE, which was shortlisted for the 2020 Governor General’s Award in Nonfiction. Her latest novel, WILD LIFE, has been longlisted for the 2025 Giller Prize. She is also the author of the novels THE CENTAUR’S WIFE (2021) and THE MIRACLES OF ORDINARY MEN (2013). Amanda’s essays and stories have appeared across Canada, the US, and the UK, and she speaks regularly across North America on accessibility, inclusion, and disability in storytelling. She has cerebral palsy and lives in Hamilton, Ontario.
