[Stylist] Publications for the blind

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Tessa,

It depends on what type of writing it is and what his intent is. If it's a
piece of creative writing-- short memoir, personal essay, creative
nonfiction-- any literary publication will accept it. If it's more
prescriptive, perhaps a newsletter-type of publication, but I'm not aware of
many pubs like this beyond the NFBs Braille Monitor. There is Breath and
Shadow, but that is still a literary magazine accepting any literary writing
by disabled people. He could also seek out blogs like Disability Wisdom that
might accept a guest blogger.

But it really depends on how literary or prescriptive it is. That will
determine what type of publication will accept it. Like I said, if literary,
any literary mag/journal is a potential place for publication. He just has
to submit it around and see if anyone accepts it.

That's another thing to keep in mind too: Whether prescriptive or literary,
it will have to be submitted for consideration. Submitting doesn't guarantee
publication.

Merry Christmas
I have someone looking for a publication where he can publish his story
about losing his vision?
Looking for a general list of publications either specific to the blind
community or which would be more likely to publish that sort of thing?
Thanks
Tessa
