I'm curious if any of you have recommendations for books or short stories where the narrator is visually impaired. For the life of me, I can't seem to find much online to point me in the right direction.
Thanks for the help!

Not really the narrator, but the actual subject of the biography... "A Sense of the World: How a Blind Man Became History's Greatest Traveler," by Jason Roberts.
It was a captivating read.

Awesome! I'm excited to look through your webpage! Do you have a recommendation for which story I should read first?

Any of my fiction stories after 2019. I don't really like my earlier work because I was still growing as a fiction writer. I mean, I am, still growing, but I hope you know what I mean. I'd encourage you to read my first disability fiction called A Deserving Conference, linked above. A lot have been accepted, just not published yet, like a story of a girl who lives in an alternate reality where she can turn her disabilities off at will. When she refuses to turn hers off so she can attend school, and forces staff to adapt to her, authorities get involved because this behavior is punishable by death.

The Things Not Seen series has a blind character, Alicia, who is the main character in the third book, and as such is the narrator.
