Description:
Step into a world of rogue screen readers, Braille in fantasy worlds, a friend meeting an acquaintance after several years, and more.
This #OwnVoices anthology features fiction by Blind and visually impaired authors showing readers how they thrive, hurt, get revenge, outsmart bullies, or go on epic adventures. Artificial Divide is an own-voices story collection that captures the many layers of Blindness and, for once, puts visually impaired protagonists in the driver's seat, letting us glimpse their lives.
When we think about it, we're not really divided.
Pointy Chances, a romantic comedy short story.
From the Community of Magic Pens anthology comes a short story where a blind teenager gathers the courage to act on his crush he has for an activist with the help of a sentient pen.
