MAGNETS AND LADDERS
\nActive Voices of Writers with Disabilities<\/p>\n
This on-line literary magazine was launched in the spring of 2011 with several stories, poems, and essays by authors originally found in the book \u201cBehind Our Eyes, An Anthology\u2026\u201d, published in 2007. The \u201cMagnets and Ladders Magazine\u201d is a venue for writers with a disability to be published; however, it is a literary magazine. Although topics may include disabilities, \u201cMagnets and Ladders\u201d is not a how-to magazine nor a venue to rail against society or a specific group. It is a showcase for the writer\u2019s talents and abilities to shine.
\n As a member of the editorial staff of this new on-line magazine, I am looking forward to your submissions.

\nAbout Behind Our Eyes <\/p>\n
Behind Our Eyes, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization enhancing the
\nopportunities for writers with disabilities. Our anthology published in
\n2007, “Behind Our Eyes: Stories, Poems, and Essays by Writers with
\nDisabilities,” is available at Amazon.com and from other booksellers. It is
\navailable in recorded and Braille format from the National Library Service
\nfor the Blind and Physically Handicapped. Members meet by teleconference
\ntwice monthly to hear speakers; share work for critique; or receive tips on
\naccessibility, publication, and suggested areas of interest. <\/p>\n
Our mailing list is a low-traffic congenial place to share work in
\nprogress; learn about submission requests; and to ask and answer writing
\nquestions. We are preparing for a second anthology, and would like to have
\nyou come aboard. For the conference phone number and PIN, join our mailing
\nlist by contacting Lisa Busch at
\ngjbusch@comcast.net.
