The increasing interest of Persons with Visual Disabilities (PDSN) in the literacy field has been felt in recent years. The high participation of PDSN in various writing activities, both competitions and writing classes, proves that they are able to produce quality written works e.g content on social media, articles in newspapers and magazines (online or offline), to standalone books and anthologies containing ideas, thoughts, imagination, research results, and personal experiences.

Realizing this phenomenon, the "Abiyoso" Indonesian Braille Literacy Center (BLBI) considers it necessary to take a strategic step. As the only institution belonging to the Indonesian Ministry of Social Affairs that handles literacy for persons with disabilities, "Abiyoso" BLBI is determined to provide the greatest possible support for efforts to develop economic independence for the Social Welfare Services Recipients (PPKS), by providing facilities to PPKS in obtaining a decent life through various means. creations and works. Support that has been given to PPKS e.g business capital, basic needs, accessibility support and facilities in terms of book publishing is also very necessary to be provided.

Books as one of the works that require a very high level of creativity certainly deserve appreciation and publication facilitation. Moreover, until now "Abiyoso" BLBI is still a member of the Indonesian Publishers Association (IKAPI) and has also networked with the National Library (Perpusnas), of course it is easier to optimally facilitate the publication of a book. For this reason, "Abiyoso" BLBI provides the widest opportunity for persons with disabilities who wish to publish books through this institution.

It's very easy. We are not limited by the provisions on paper size, font size, or writing margins, which have often been the biggest obstacle for PDSN when it comes to writing. The most important thing is that it is neat and easy to read by the editorial team. For more detailed information, please read the terms below.
