[stylist] My New Book

How did suite 101 change their accessibility? Did you try to tell 
them that it was inaccessible? I remember you used to write for 
them.

I guess I was wondering if you've had any luck with mainstream 
publications.
I never did, though I wrote for some online magazines where you 
basically
publish whatever you want.  I left the one that paid, Suite 101, 
when they
gave up both their commitment to journalistic standards and their
accessibility.

Hi,
Just like you would with any publication.  You would write 
according to their
guidelines and article style, and either have your piece accepted 
or
rejected.  Am I missing something in this question?

Thanks.

Jim

Hi,
Maybe one way to do this is to write editorials in main stream 
publications.
I'd love to, but I cannot write as well as 100% of the people 
here, but if I
can do something to help, I'll try.

Thanks.

Jim

It's very true.  And most of us have come across literary 
characters who are
less than positive examples of blindness, so why not combat it by 
writing
our own strong, independent blind characters? Writing in any form 
is a
potentially great tool for change.  When you look at history, 
it's not
politicians or their legislation that has made the most change, 
but it is
the artistic community who have organized and used their talents 
to create
change.  The Civil Rights movement, LBGT issues, feminism...  The 
deepest
change has occurred through art, theatre, music, dance and yes, 
writing.  So
why can't the disabled community do the same?

    Thank you.  I feel that fiction, accurate fiction, is a good 
way to
promote the blind.  People who will not read an article, no 
matter how well
written, will read fiction.

I feel that in some cases this is equally true where the blind 
themselves
are concerned.  This is especially true for young people, who 
often feel

that their problems are unique to them.  Reading about a 
character who may
have the same problems is often inspiring.

"Mrs.  Campbell, I didn't know that happened to other people." or 
"Do other
people feel that way, too?"  are things I often hear from young 
people who
are blind.
