Here's the invitation and info for DB Touch Of Everything. You all can share this with whoever you want.
---
You are invited to receive the free DeafBlind-friendly
e-zine called DB Touch Of Everything. DB
TOE is a unique variety “magazine” that is distributed by email through a
Google Group. Items for reading are sent
individually by the editors, instead of a whole magazine. No fancy fonts or graphics, just simple email
text that’s compatible with Braille displays, screen magnifiers and audio
screen readers. As the name suggests,
the articles can be personal perspectives, news, information, fiction, poetry,
humor and anything else that meets our quality standards. There is no cost to you; the editors and
contributors are volunteers who want to provide accessible reading material for
those with sensory disabilities and other interested readers.

1. Title of the work.
2. Category of the work, such as Essay, Fiction, News, Information, Poem, Joke and so on. Put the category in parentheses under the title.
3. A byline for the original author of the item. If you are sharing something another person wrote, you must include the author’s name and then add your name with “submitted by” in front. If you are summarizing something you read in the news, you can just put “news summarized by” and then your name.
4. If the item is copyrighted, include the copyright info. Works in the public domain don’t have copyrights and are OK to share. However, you can’t share a work someone else has copyrighted without the copyright holder’s express permission. You can share work you have copyrighted yourself.
5. If you are sharing a public domain item from another source, include the name of the source.
Disclaimer: There will be a disclaimer in the automatic footer of every post that ensures the contributor of the item posted (you) claims the legal right to share the item.
