sensitivity reader, accessibility tester and editor for hire
About
I'm Coyote.
I'm in my 30s.
he/him/his
I'm a disabled adult with a degree and career experience as an educator in literature and language. I am also fortunate to have been printed in various publications as an author and as an editor.
Work and rates
I have nearly a decade's experience with writing copy, editing, sensitivity reading and being an accessibility consultant.
I am available for hire at a fixed rate and by the hour.
ABOUT
Coyote is my online alias. I use one as a courtesy to protect the privacy of my loved ones and to protect my own privacy. You can find me on most social medias with the handle @uglycoyote or @ughlycoyote.
I live with my partner, my service dog and our other pets.
I have been a student, a teacher, a hospice worker, a Death Positive advocate, a community organizer, a patient, a small time social media influencer and more. All of these experiences have shaped my voice and my perspective.
I feel that I am qualified to give feedback on topics of disability as well as advisory feedback on disability accessibility in text, visuals and gameplay design. If you would like my input on your next project, please contact me at the links below.
EDITING
I have nearly a decade's experience of writing, proofreading and editing copy in the education industry. I also have experience in editing, proofreading and sensitivity reading for non-fiction and for fiction. I also have had the privilege of consulting on gameplay mechanics, including interactive text browser-based games and Skyrim mods based on the Nexus.
My flat rate for editing is $40 for 3,500 words and under. An additional $5 applies for every additional 1,000 words.
My flat rate for sensitivity reading and accessibility visual review (for film or gameplay) is $40 for 3,500 words or under or $40/hour. An additional $5 applies for every additional 1,000 words or 20 minutes.
I also provide workshop sensitivity and accessibility consultation at $25 per hour-long live session.

Sense of Harmony: A Prelude by Brook Jensen
I prefer to use Google tools (Docs, Hangouts) and Discord. However, I will adapt to whatever is most comfortable and convenient for you.
