[Stylist] Publications for the blind

Can you recommend this list to him? That way he can personally ask questions
and potentially even get feedback on his writing here? Again, a lot depends
on if he plans to write narrative nonfiction or prescriptive nonfiction.

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
