When younger, I was dreaming about writing and publishing a book at some point in my life. Being deaf and dealing with a lot of communication and information access limitations to aural Russian and English, I was not sure if it would be possible. Literature was the most difficult subject for me in school (due to the lack of communication access and ability to participate in class discussions) and I always dreaded book report assignments. In addition, traditional publishing would make it even more difficult. So I had such a great feeling of accomplishment when I published my book a year ago – first in digital version, then in paper version.

It’s been a while since I last wrote blog posts on this website. Many things were going on in the past couple years.
First, I wanted to share the highlight of this year which is publication of my book – it took me a year and half to write, edit, and design as well as attending book publishing events and learning ropes of self publishing. I will write a more detailed blog post about this after the holidays. Meanwhile, you can check out my book online. It’s titled “Sound Is Not Enough: Captioning as Universal Design.”
