Publishing Student’s Indie Company Releases Book by Blind Author
Publication Sparked by Project in Applied Ethics Class
|
|
“I will never
look at anything the same again,” wrote Nancy Cleary, a master’s degree candidate in GW’s Publishing program, after reviewing the pitch her indie publishing company received for a young-adult novel written by a blind author.

After several phone calls with the smart and funny author, Kristen Witucki, they began actively working on the publication, an emotional story told from two perspectives---a blind teenager and an older blind librarian.
