[stylist] Writers' Division First Call of 2015 - a SPECIAL GUEST!

[April Brown]

       This sounds really interesting!  Where can we go to read about it?  I did  notice a phone number.  I don't have hearing ears, so phones don't help me.   I checked the National Braille Press site, and didn't find out any information about how they choose books for their programs.
