Lily

Lily Walton writes contemporary fiction about disabled young people navigating bodies and systems that weren't built for them. As an AuDHD author who has been totally blind since birth, she writes from inside the experience of a body the world keeps trying to translate; accessibility isn't a feature of her work, it's the foundation.

When she's not writing, she's probably wrangling a busy toddler, explaining the emotional arc of a fictional character to anyone who will listen, disappearing into her ever-expanding series bible, or reminding herself that "almost done with this edit" is a state of mind, not a timeline.

She lives in Texas with her husband Jim, their toddler, her active guide dog Odette (a little yellow Lab with opinions), Jim's active guide Orlando, and two retired guides, Kinley and Irwin, who have earned every nap.
