LIVE Q&A with Angela!

Virtual Interactive Member Chat: Monday, May 26th 4:00-5:00 pm ET

We have a Live Q&A call coming up next week, Monday, May 26th 4:00-5:00 pm ET and we would love to see you there. This is a paid subscriber perk so now is a great time to sign up. If you are a paid member and logged in with that account, scroll down for the link to the call and put it in your calendar.

Normally, you also have to be a paid member to get access to our weekly writing prompt which is part of our Virtual Writing Circle, but the circle is expanded to include everyone for FREE through July. This week’s contest is a micro fiction story (up to 500 words) about Autistic Confusion. The winner gets a cash prize and their story published in our Neurodivergent Narratives Literary Anthology.

One of last week’s winners, Ellis Prybylski, commented that the contest isn’t quite microficiton: “Pssst. For clarity's sake, those are between "micro fiction" and "flash fiction." I'm only mentioning this because the definitions matter when authors are reading your instructions! I've linked a solid article below with the definitions so you don't confuse anyone.

Worth noting! And there is still 48 hours to get your submission in. We have about 35 submissions as of this moment that I’m typing so you have a great chance of winning.

In addition to getting access to the virtual writing circle and regular Q&A calls with me. Paid subscribers also get a free access to Am I Actually Autistic? ~ my Memoir and Self-Identification Guide to Processing the Identity Shock of a Late Autism Discover & Living Unmasked. Subscribe before May 26th to join me for our next Q&A where I will be sharing some exciting news happening behind the scenes.

On this month’s Q&A call I’ll be addressing any of your questions and I will be sharing:

• The publishing plan for Neurodivergent Narratives and how to submit your writing

• Updates on availability of Am I Actually Autistic? ~ My Memoir and Self-Identification Guide to Processing the Identity Shock of a Late Autism Discover & Living Unmasked

• The upcoming launch of The Autistic Culture Institute, opportunities to be on the board of trustees, and some grants that are in process

• Our Live Event in June of 2026 here in the UK and how you can apply to speak, volunteer, or exhibit at that event

• And some exciting plans for branding and host updates for our next full season.

This is your chance to get the full scoop before anyone else!

The Autistic Culture Podcast is a labor of love…and it’s not a free one. TACP strives to hire creative Autistics and offer employment that is rewarding, enriching, and fully accommodating of disability needs. This private, casual Q&A with the podcast’s hosts is our way of saying, “Thank you!” to the paid subscribers who help offset those costs. Angela can’t wait to chat, answer your questions, and offer writing tips!
