[stylist] Slate & Style formats

[Jacqueline Williams]

Yes, Bridgit,
It is devastating to have a poem copied and pasted into an e-mail with the
consequent loss of format. It is much more serious than in a fiction piece.
And of course, some of us do not have a PDF convertor.
So as you are doing it, as an attachment, is probably the best.
The many options Robert has suggested are all worth consideration and I will
give him feedback soon.

But we may lose formatting and structure after pasting it into an email.
I know many of us don't "see" S & S, but we do want it professional, and
some readers can visually see it. It can be done, but the pasted version
won't look as nice, and as S & S moves forward, I hate to lose
professionalism especially since the email would be the first thing
anyone would see. Not against the idea, just something to consider.

What about S & S being its own website? Like Breath and Shadow? Can
still offer Braille and print hard-copies, but something to consider
especially if we want to move into the market out there.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Just to give you all the rest of the story --- Placing the copy of
"Slate & Style" in the body of an email did work for her.
