Individuals who work in the blindness field and who will be attending the
2015 convention of the National Federation of the Blind are encouraged to
join the editorial staff of the Journal of Blindness Innovation and Research
for a workshop on how to write a professional practice article. The workshop
will take place on Monday, July 6, 6:00-8:00 PM, Salon 17, Level 2.
The Journal of Blindness Innovation and Research (JBIR) is seeking the
submission of professional practice articles that capture the knowledge that
many of our members who work in the blindness field possess. This workshop
will provide an overview of how to write a professional practice article,
and then provide attendees an opportunity to work with JBIR editors and
other authors to prepare an outline for a professional practice article on a
topic of your choosing. Attendees should bring something to write with and a
topic for their outline.
Questions about the workshop should be emailed to Lou Ann Blake, JBIR
managing editor, at
