Book Formats

The only demand I made to my publisher...OK, it was more of a request, first-time authors don't get to demand much, was that we make the book accessible to blind and visually impaired readers. Since the subject matter was a lot about Amy's success in spite of her vision problem, it only made sense to make sure the material could be appreciated by others with vision loss. Leapfrog press was very supportive of this and has taken steps to assure that the book will soon be available in a variety of electronic formats, including large print (for download) and Daisy for text-to-speech readers. It will also be available in most e-book formats.

The Library of Congress has indicated that they will be making a recording of the book for the blind and visually impaired at some time in the future. That's nice of them, though what "some time in the future" means to the government has never been clear to me. In 1920 the Equal Rights Amendment was to become adopted "some time in the future", but I'm not sure it's close to happening anytime soon.
