[Stylist] Publications for the blind

[Jacobson, Shawn D]

Any time.

I've not been submitting recently, mostly because I have been doing stories that are more in the SF genre than really fits in a literary magazine.

So I do want to keep your magazine in the conversation.

I appreciate what the magazine has done for getting my work out to an audience.

You can also try Magnets and Ladders which published pieces by people with disabilities.

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
