[Stylist] Establishing New Blind Writing Group

[Elizabeth Sprecher]

Hey everyone,
I think it would be so cool if we could sort of restart the mailing list again. And since there’s already so many replies to this message. I personally don’t want to spend all my time on Facebook, so I feel that a mailing list would be more separate and would be more professional. And we can still address everything we would want regarding writing. I I will try and reach out to the person that oversees all the mailing lists, to see if we can restart the mailing list.
All My Best
Elizabeth

I do find great calls for submissions, though. So I guess I am on the fence using it for a group I'd want to be more deeply involved with, JMO.

At least an email list would have more flexibility with sharing writing from one another and be a bit more intimate.

Perhaps we could create a Facebook group for Blind and visually impaired writers? In that group, we can talk about everything writing related, maybe even do a book club, and so on. If you guys like this idea or you guys have an ongoing conversation somewhere about this, I’d love to talk about it further.
