My book, Accessibility For Everyone, is now free and online as a website.

https://accessibilityforeveryone.site

The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.

@laura That’s great news, Laura! I’ve added 🆓 to the link to your book on my “Authors Apart” webpage, to help spread the word.

Authors Apart

A Book Apart is now closed. I’m trying to track the authors’ preferred ways of making their books available.

@laura that's awesome. Thanks for making this public! Accessibility is something I've recently become interested in and I'm the kind who learns best with a book blobcatreading

Also, TIL that A Book Apart is not publishing any more blobcatsob

@badrihippo I know, so sad right?! I’ve just updated the book site so the homepage has links to all the other ABA books from the Authors’ Collective that are available in some form. Most of them are free and online too.

Mega thanks to @aral for getting the site up and running for me. It uses Kitten! Small Technology Foundation are now the publishers of Accessibility For Everyone, and you can support our teeny tiny not-for-profit organisation at https://small-tech.org/fund-us

I’ll add the audiobook files to the site in the next few weeks. And I’m considering other platforms and formats that might make Accessibility For Everyone easier to access. Please let me know if you have a preference, I’m still not 100% sure where’s best to focus my time.

@laura libro.fm would be nice as a place to buy audio, but I might be in the minority tbh

Even though the book is nearly nine years old, I get regular requests for where to buy it, and universities and colleges still include it on their reading lists.
