[stylist] Hi, everyone

[Rowena Portch]

My name is Rowena Portch. I have been a professional writer for over 30 years and absolutely love it. When I lost my sight to RP, 10 years ago, I had to learn to continue my craft without sight. It has been a long and arduous journey that I still seem to be traversing. I owned my own publishing businesses, and have helped many new writers achieve their writing goals. 

Many years ago, I went the traditional publishing path with an established New York agent and wrote for Tor Books. That experience left a rather bitter taste in my mouth so I pulled myself from the radar for several years. 

Today, I have nine novels published and one short story. I’m working on my next two novels—yes, both at the same time.  Hopefully, they will be released by the end of this year. 

I’m looking forward to getting more involved with this group. For now, I’m curious as to what tools my fellow blind authors use to get the job done. I am using Pages on my Mac for writing. I used Microsoft word to format my ebooks, and Adobe InDesign to format my paperback books, but both of those programs are inaccessible, and I find I am unable to see well enough to continue using those programs. So, long story short, what do you use to format your books for publication?

Thanks,
