Accessible World And Books And Beyond Present Deborah
Kendrick, Wednesday, March 28, 2012

 

Newswire:

In 1986, Debra Kendrick began writing a column for the
Cincinnati Inquirer.

It would have been easy and not surprising to anyone if
her subject matter

had been  disability.  Kendrick   wanted something
different.  She wanted to

carve out a career   without that.   It took a number
of years  before she

felt a desire and perhaps the  need to change her mind.
Why does she write

about the area of disability now?   She  has been
involved in the writing of

four books published by the National Braille Press.
Kendrick had the

experience of gaining her high school education without
the resource teacher many of us in public school
received.  How did this affect her outlook and

future prospects?   She is proof that dreams do come
true. Her high school

experience was, in many ways,  both inspirational and a
catalyst for  even greater accomplishment in finding
personal resources for the creativity to come. What are
her greatest strengths and strongest liabilities as a
writer?

How does she keep coming up with new and fresh ideas
for her column? Is it easier to write when a deadline
looms? What advice would she give  writers?

Deborah Kendrick will admit to an addiction for
reading, a feeling I know well.

How does one's writing and perspective change over
time? How much does change as a writer change you the
person?

On our next show, I will talk with Deborah about books,
words, education and her growth as a writer. Looking
back, what would she do differently?  What would remain
the same?

Deborah read to her children when they were young
taking her love of words and stories to the next
generation. If there is one thing all lovers do, it is
to share with the world their passion. Join us as
Deborah Kendrick shares

hers   with us. This is a show you won't want to miss.
