[Athen] Non-academic, literary accessibility

[Stephen Marositz]

Hello Todd

I've used New Accessibility Guidelines for Self-Publishing Authors<https://www.accessiblebooksconsortium.org/export/abc/en/abc_ebook_guidelines_for_self-publishing_authors.pdf>
by
Dave Gunn,

As the basis for faculty workshops in the past. It may be a useful resource.

Hi all,

A local small press reached out with some questions as they ramp up their ePub practices. Their books are not specifically intended as classroom texts, but they want to provide good ALT text with illustrations, charts/graphs, and the like.

My DS office colleague and I shared the usual ALT goodness, but I felt like there might be something more specific we could offer them as publishers of fiction, poetry, history, and general interest titles. Has anyone worked with accessibility at a more literary level?

Yes, I am an English major.

Cheers,
TMW
