Sat Jul 25 13:59:11 UTC 2015

Hi you all, here is the text you all can find on our Division's Website, on
the membership page, then division leaders. So here you go; stay tuned to
additional website updates.

NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND WRITERS' DIVISION BOARD OF DIRECTORS

2015-2017

NAMES ARE HERE, BUT NOT ALL BIOS.

EvaMarie Sanchez, President

Originally from Northern California, EvaMarie Sanchez has lived too long in
the cold winters of Eastern Idaho. Recently, she moved to the Red Rocks of
Northern Arizona hoping to start a new chapter with her guide dog.

Sanchez has had many chapters in her life, but Being a member of the board
of directors of the writers division and a writer of fiction and poetry,
this may be the most well written chapter yet.

"As a licensed social worker and an artist who loves animals of all kinds,
it is anyone's guess what the next chapter will be titled," says Sanchez.

Chelsea Cook, First VP

As a physics major at Virginia Tech, Chelsea Cook has made her home in the
mountains for now. She left the sea and headed for the hills, trading the
continuous jet roar overhead for a crisp morning and a town where the
nearest mall is twenty minutes away. 

"college has been everything I hoped for, and I'm sure it will only get
better as I move deeper into the academic cavern, hoping to find treasure
and being guided by the best," Cook says.

Cook writes science fiction and is attempting to bring a wider awareness of
the genre to her fellow classmates. Her novels have yet to be published, but
it's a great start on getting science fiction into her university. Her
poetry has been circulated online, in small journals and in issues of Slate
and Style. 

Myrna Dupre' Badgerow, Second V P

Myrna Dupre' Badgerow makes her home in the bayou country of southern
Louisiana. She enjoys writing, reading, helping young writers, and spending
time with family, which includes three grown children and seven
grandchildren.

She began writing seriously in 2000 and has since been nominated for the
2008 Pushcart Award by the editors of Mississippi Crow magazine, named
2004's Poet of the Year at The Writing Forum, and also has a credit as
lyricist on a CD released by the band Against the Wall.

Katie Colton, Secretary

Colton currently attends the University of Utah. She is a science student,
but enjoys playwrighting .

"My plays are typically about issues that many people might be able to
identify with. Most of the themes are about acceptance, tolerance, coming to
terms with specific issues, or some combination of sensitive issues with
expressing who people are," Colton says.

Colton compares her plays to the style of Tennessee Williams. Her plays are
character driven and emphasize scenic description. She has yet to publish a
play, but she intends to share her plays with the Division in an attempt to
receive feedback. She hopes that with her experience as a playwright, she
could be helpful to other members of the Writers' Division.

Shawn Jacobson, Treasurer

Robert Gardner, Board Member

Shelley Alongi, Board Member

Kinston Walker, Board Member

Lori Letham, Board Member

Subject: [stylist] Slate and Style

Hello People, I just received word from a member who had not received a copy
of the last issue of Slate and Style. I am thinking that for some reason the
person who was sending them out had copied their address incorrectly. This
happens.
As it has come to light though, I thought it prudent to ask here if there
are any other members out there who did not receive a copy. We will only
know things need fixing if you tell us, so please do not be shy.
And by the way, The submission deadline for the Autumn issue is approaching.
Remember that you could submit any time throughout the year, but if you
specifically want to be in the coming issue, you need to be aware of the
dates.
For the next issue, the submission deadline is September 2nd. And please,
please, please take note and follow the submission guidelines. They can be
found on the Writers' Division webpage.
Be excellent to each other and Write On.
Eve Sanchez
 President, National Federation of the Blind Northern Arizona President,
National Federation of the Blind Writers' Division Committee Chair, Arizona
Association of Guide Dog Users Affiliate Member, National Federation of the
Blind Legislative Committee Affiliate Member, National Federation of the
Blind Membership Committee Member, Slate & Style Editing Team
