Author Marilyn Brandt Smith Guest On Books and Beyond Wednesday March 12, 2008
The Accessible World News Wire March 9, 2008, Indianapolis, Indiana USA
Have you ever wondered what knowledge and skills a manuscript editor must possess to be successful? Do you know what steps are involved in getting writings published? How does editing an anthology differ from editing one's own writing? These are just a few questions hostess Bonnie Blose will ask her guest, Marilyn Brandt Smith, during this week's Books and Beyond, an internet talk show sponsored by the Accessible World.
Ms. Smith, a former rehabilitation center director and mother of two adult blind children, is a published writer of poetry and numerous articles. Recently, she has edited her first book, an anthology titled " BEHIND OUR EYES: Stories, Poems and Essays by Writers with Disabilities".
Following the interview, the audience will have an opportunity to interact directly with Ms. Smith.
