S1 EP 2 - "Shy bairns get nowt" Rachel Charlton Dailey on launching The Unwritten, a disability magazine sans trauma porn

Rachel Charlton-Dailey is the founder and editor in chief of The Unwritten. The Unwritten is a publication written for and by disabled individuals, without the inspiration porn or trauma based content you would see in other such publications. Rachel is also a disability activist, and has written for places including Conscious Being, Stylist magazine, Digital Spy and many more. Rachel also runs an Instagram account for her pet sausage dog, Rusty.  In this episode we cover pitching (including how to get that all important commission!) , access requirements and how the Covid 19 pandemic has had a huge impact, how working from home could revolutionise employment, the making of the Unwritten being created as a response to marginalisation of disability in media coverage, and more.    EDITORS NOTE: recording this was beset by a lot of technical issues, such as with internet connections and working from home conditions. This has been edited more as a ‘highlights reel’ to erase as many issues as possible, so that your listening experience will be a lot cleaner. This episode is a lot shorter than we would have anticipated, but it's perfect for a quick listen while running, or while working at your desk. These issues will be ironed out and will be resolved in future episodes.  This episode was also recorded prior to 'Freedom Day' in the UK, which should also be taken into account.  Contextual resources and articles referenced in this episode:  The Unwritten: https://www.theunwritten.co.uk Rachel’s Twitter account: https://twitter.com/RachelCDailey Rachel's official website: https://rachelcharltondailey.com  Rachel’s piece for Stylist magazine: https://www.stylist.co.uk/opinion/disabled-healthcare-nhs-ignored/423005 Donate to The Unwritten: https://www.theunwritten.co.uk/support-us/ Rusty’s Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/rustythelittlesausage/ Izzie for the Huffington post: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/cystic-fibrosis-coronavirus_uk_600e0a68c5b6a0d83a1c766c How to pitch to The Unwritten: https://www.t
