As seen on
My advocacy work has extended beyond the pages of my blog over the years, seeing me write for various publications, sharing my thoughts on a whole host of topics in the media, and speaking to government, schools and community groups.
Here you’ll find links to articles I’ve written, including features for the BBC and The Guardian, in addition to a myriad of media interviews and features which include Allure Magazine, BBC Cymru Wales, S4C, ITV Cymru Wales, and RNIB Connect Radio.
I’m also excited to share that my writing will be featured in the upcoming anthology, Everyday Disability & Chronic Illness: Stories of Joy, Resistance and Anti-Ableism (to be published in late 2026/early 2027 by Jessica Kingsley Publishers).
Feel free to peruse my portfolio, and get in touch if you think we could work well together by emailing elin@myblurredworld.com. I’d love to hear from you!
