Artificial Divide

Step into a world of rogue screen readers, Braille in fantasy worlds, a friend meeting an acquaintance after several years, and more.

This #OwnVoices anthology features fiction by Blind and visually impaired authors showing readers how they thrive, hurt, get revenge, outsmart bullies, or go on epic adventures. Artificial Divide is an own-voices story collection that captures the many layers of Blindness and, for once, puts visually impaired protagonists in the driver's seat, letting us glimpse their lives.

When we think about it, we're not really divided.

With stories by Eunice Cooper-Matchett - Anita Haas - Rebecca Blaevoet - Tessa Soderberg - Alice Eakes - Melissa Yuan-Innes - Jamieson Wolf - Ben Fulton - Felix Imonti - Niki White - M. Leona Godin - Ann Chiappetta - Lawrence Gunther - Heather Meares - Jameyanne Fuller
