Bethany Handley is an award-winning writer, poet, and disability activist from South Wales. Her writing explores access to nature, ableism, and the landscapes that shape her - weaving creativity with activism. She is the author of *Cling Film* (Seren, 2025) and co-editor of *Beyond / Tu Hwnt*, the first bilingual anthology of Welsh Deaf and Disabled writers.
Alongside her literary work, Bethany advises organisations and landowners on making the outdoors more accessible. She is also an ambassador for the Wales Coast Path, Ramblers Cymru, and Country Living’s Access for All campaign, where she champions equality in nature.
