Writing With Vision Loss

The Start of a New Chapter

Practical tools and accessible technology that allow writers with vision loss to write, edit, and publish

This session is designed for writers who are living with vision loss and still feel the pull to create. Writing is still possible. It may simply look different than before. We will explore how creativity can continue to thrive by adapting methods, tools, and mindset.

Participants will gain an understanding of how vision loss does not end a writing journey, but rather opens the door to new approaches. The session will cover practical tools and accessible technology that support writing, editing, and publishing, as well as resources that can help writers stay productive and inspired. Attendees will also learn strategies for adapting their writing process in ways that work for their individual needs.

Above all, this session aims to build confidence and reassurance, reminding writers that their voice still matters. Vision loss may change how the work is done, but it does not diminish creativity, talent, or the ability to tell powerful narratives. This is not the end of the story, it’s the start of a new chapter.
