[Sean Whalen]

Good afternoon,

 

I have been asked to circulate the below announcement. I am unfamiliar with this project, however it looks like it may provide a good opportunity for interested students to share their work and perspectives.

Subject: Creative Journal for Students with Visual Disabilities | Seeking Submissions

 

I am writing on behalf of Exceptions, a new art and literary journal for students with visual disabilities, which is currently accepting submissions for its inaugural issue.

 

Exceptions provides an exciting platform for university students (and recent alumni) with visual disabilities to publish creative work that showcases their unique perspectives. Through a print journal dual-published in Braille and an accessible multimedia website, Exceptions aims to make the artistic work of students with visual disabilities available to a diverse audience, providing a forum for creative exchange. Our publication highlights a variety of art forms, including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and other media (music, film, visual and tactile arts, etc.).

 

While we are housed at Michigan State University, we are keenly aware that optimal success for this endeavor will require a broad-based initiative. Michael Hudson, Director of the MSU Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities, has encouraged connection with other Directors of similar services. He is working closely with the journal and the editorial board and joins me in encouraging your promotion of this opportunity to your students and alumni. We would appreciate your circulation of the attached Call for Submissions among your students and encourage them to contribute to the journal, either by submitting creative work or by writing a guest post for our blog. We are accepting submissions on a rolling basis from July 1st to October 1st, 2013.

 

If you or your students have any questions, please feel free to contact me or the journal at exceptionsjournal at gmail.com or visit our website,www.exceptionsjournal.com <http://www.exceptionsjournal.com/> .

 

Thank you for your time. We look forward to hearing from you and your students.

 

Best Regards,

 

Craig Pearson

Editor-in-Chief
