- Summary:
-
Books without barriers is written and produced by the Institute of Professional Editors, with the support of key industry bodies the Copyright Agency and the Australian Publishers Association. Our aim in writing is to collect as much advice on accessibility specific to book publishing as possible in one place, so that publishers and contributors in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand can avoid lengthy searches for information. We hope this resource will help make the process of creating accessible publications easier to understand for all those involved, including writers, editors, proofreaders, illustrators, designers, typesetters and publishers. Not all sections are relevant to all roles, and some contributors play more than one role in the publication process. To help you find information relevant to your own work, the guide is broken down into parts that are roughly parallel to stages in the publishing workflow: planning, content development, drafting image descriptions, and production. The guide offers suggestions on how accessibility barriers can be removed without loss of meaning or clarity of expression. As well as providing practical advice for each stage of the publishing workflow, we have included background information that discusses the accessibility issues being addressed. There are few one-size-fits-all solutions. Context is key, as each genre, publisher and publication has different requirements, challenges and methods of working. The explanations provided in this guide are designed to help each contributor and publishing team choose options suited to their needs, or even develop new solutions of their own.
