[stylist] FW: Introduction and question

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Estelle and John,

Welcome to Stylist. Oral stories are how stories and the written language in
general came about, so that's so cool your husband is an oral story-teller,
carrying on a proud tradition.

I've only had short pieces published in magazines, so I cannot answer
questions about publishing full-length manuscripts with any level of
expertise. But many on Stylist have been published, both self-published and
traditional publishers. I'm sure you will gain a wealth of information here.

Good luck, and I look forward to getting to know you and John.

Bridgit

Hello,
  We are new to stylist, and really new to using the list serve. My name is
Estelle and I have joined for John who has no computer. We attend the Senior
Support group at the Colorado Center for the Blind. John is a great
storyteller for his 5 grandchildren and for anyone else who wants to hear a
good story. Many of his stories are taken directly from his full and
adventurous life, and he is also good at making up stories on the spot when
the kids request - "Tell me a story." 
  Could someone please tell us more about how to use stylist - such as -
when and how can we listen in on the conference calls? Are responses to our
questions sent directly to our email or do we have to look for them
somewhere else? I told you we are newbies!! John is in the process of
getting a couple of books written and published. One is a coloring book for
blind and/or sighted to share, so we want it in Braille as well as large
print and with tactile pictures for anyone to color. He would also like to
know who can help publish a "twin vision" type storybook for children. And
eventually he may finish putting together  a collection of his stories,
which could be available in Braille and/print. Any information you could
pass along would be appreciated. Blessings and thanks and good wishes to you
all, Estelle and John
