Fit Notes is a book of feminist stories, essays and poetry exploring the intersections of illness, bodies, gender and work. Coming in Spring 2025.
Illness is an unavoidable part of life, whether we live with chronic health conditions or are knocked by brief bouts of illness. We are measured by our capacity for work; an inability to engage in work-related activities renders us ineffectual as individuals, while acts of labour outside this traditional sense of work — the labour of care, domesticity, love, parenthood, and craft — are often devalued and discarded.
In Fit Notes, writers aim to explore work beyond the scope of its traditional and constrictive conceptions and ask how work relates to the body, illness, and life.
