Communicating with Everyone – Coming Soon from XML Press!

We received great news from SIG member, Brenda Huettner – she’s writing a new book on the topic of… wait… drum roll…. accessibility!

Here’s what she tells us:

Some of you may remember a couple of years ago when the STC Press was going to publish a book I was writing about accessibility across multiple forms of output. Unfortunately, the STC Press wasn’t really built on a viable model at that time, and the entire press (and my project) was cancelled.

But I still believe strongly in the need for such a book, and am happy to tell you that I’ve just signed a deal with XML Press to publish “Communicating with Everyone”! I’ve committed to a fairly aggressive schedule, and hope to have a finished book in hand some time in early January. The major premise is that too many other books seem to equate “accessibility” with “web site accessibility” or focus on software design. This book will talk about a variety of information deliverables, and also include discussions of some of the applicable international regulations (not JUST Section 508). For more details, you can see the book’s XML Press page.

For those of you who offered your advice and insights 5 years ago, thank you very much, I still have all your comments. But I’m also eager to hear from anyone else who wants to make any new suggestions! I’d be happy to share (or reshare) the current outline with you, just drop me an email.
