Blind Writers

In Touch

Available for over a year

Authors Redmond Szell and Tanvir Bush discuss their experience of becoming published writers and talk to Peter White about other writing opportunities for aspirant blind and partially-sighted creatives. They consider the question of whether to reveal one's blindness to publishers and whether a writer's blindness is a good selling point or something which can sometimes work against them. Can you learn creative writing? Tanvir and Redmond offer advice to listeners who wish to reach their literary potential.
