[Stylist] Publications for the blind

[Tessa]

Hi all,
Thanks for your thoughts, I sent the information to him but haven't heard back. I don't know anything about his writing other than his wish to do some sort of biographical piece about his adapting to vision loss. 
Again thanks, and merry Christmas, happy holidays
Tessa
