Crip Stories: An anthology of disabled writers
The word crip was once used to discriminate. Today, it is reclaimed and celebrated.
Crip Stories is a gathering of vibrant and diverse experiences from disabled people. A collection of narrative non-fiction, essays and poetry, it affirms the ethos of 'nothing about us without us' by amplifying first-person narrative voices of lived experience.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
