Esther Ottaway is a Tasmanian/lutruwita poet, editor and mentor who has won or been shortlisted for global prizes including the Tom Collins, Woorilla, MPU International, Mslexia, Bridport, Montreal, and Tim Thorne Prize for Poetry. Her acclaimed new collection, She Doesn’t Seem Autistic, poetically lifts the lid on bright girls with hidden autism, who are going undiagnosed and unsupported in a medical system designed for boys. In 2024, Esther will release a landmark anthology of disability writing, co-edited with Andy Jackson and Kerri Shying, titled Raging Grace: Australian writers speak out on disability (Puncher & Wattmann).
