Sarah has worked in publishing for many years, most recently as Production Director at HarperCollins Publishers. Her work there included the creation of an international standard concerning social responsibility and ethical sourcing of a publisher’s third party suppliers. She has taken the lead in EDItEUR’s involvement in the Enabling Technologies Framework project, funded by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) under its visually impaired persons (VIP) initiative.  Begun in June 2010 this project has provided guidance and advice for publishers on accessible publishing. Recently published, the guidelines document Accessible Publishing, Best Practice Guidelines for Publishers are available in Word, HTML, PDF and EPUB 3 on http://www.editeur.org/109/Enabling-Technologies-Framework/ in 6 languages together with a series of short learning objects on accessible publishing.
