In this episode of bookcareers.com Live we talk to Simon Holt, who leads content accessibility at Elsevier and ensures content is accessible for all. Simon discusses his career path as a visually-impaired person working successfully in publishing. He talks about what has been done so far within the industry and what we still need to achieve.
