Every Story Matters. Every Voice Belongs.
Publishing books by, for, and about people with differing abilities — stories that share joy and show what people with differing abilities can do.
Publishing Joy, Inclusion, and Possibility.
Abilities Rising Publishing gives a voice to people with differing abilities. We publish stories that celebrate life, creativity, and inclusion. Our books range from memoirs to how to guides to entertainment books like puzzle books and joke books. Every title we create fulfills two purposes: to spread joy and to show what people with differing abilities can do.
We believe in publishing with purpose because every story has the power to change how we see the world.
Our Story — and Why It Matters
