NBP's Diane Croft on Books And Beyond, Wednesday, October 12, 2011
 
National Braille Press is an invaluable source of information on many
subjects. Whether you want to learn how to use a computer more effectively,
read a book with your grandchild, learn about Louis Braille or find useful
information that will make your vacation a more pleasurable experience,
Diane Croft has probably been involved with what you have learned.

As publisher of National Braille Press, Diane guides authors through all the
stages that end with a book in your hands. Books often involve years of
writing and rewriting before they are available for distribution. As
readers, we give little thought to the complicated procedure involved in
writing, editing and publishing. What is it like to work in the world of
publishing? How does an editor get the very best a writer has to offer? How
do business considerations and the creative process interact? Many
publishers are writers themselves; is that an advantage in working with
writers? 
 
On our next Books And Beyond, we will discuss the publishing process with
Diane Croft. How did she find this fascinating work? What are the rewards
and challenges of working with writers? Creativity is endlessly fascinating.
Join us as we talk with a sensational woman with much to say about how books
come to be. Below, you will find information about Diane Croft and
instructions for attending this marvelous show.
