Is your content truly reaching everyone?
Do you wonder if your message is getting lost because it’s inaccessible to your audience?
Does your content feel unclear, difficult to follow, or just not as accessible as you know it could be?
Do you feel stuck by the technical side of digital accessibility and unsure where to start with your content?
Creating content that’s truly accessible for people with disabilities, neurodivergent folks, and those using assistive technology can feel overwhelming. You might second-guess if you’re using the right language or if your message is coming across the way you intend. And let’s face it, making sure your content is equitable and barrier-free isn’t just about checking a box.
The need for clear and inclusive messaging
Your content has a purpose—it’s there to connect with your audience, making sure everyone can understand and engage with what you’re offering.
You know your content needs to be more than just readable—it needs to be as accessible as possible. You know that accessibility is more than just tweaking a few words here and there.
Because truly accessible content is inclusive, clear, and reflects the values of your organization. It invites everyone in without making anyone feel left out.
Great accessible content is easy to navigate, free from barriers, and allows everyone to engage. And that’s how you create real impact in your community.

My editorial skills
I specialize in editing for accessibility. My editorial skills are:
Plain language communications
I give recommendations to enhance your document’s accessibility, usability, and understanding for its intended audience using plain language communication best practices.
Digital accessibility
Using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2, I give recommendations to improve the digital user experience for your audience.
Conscious language and authenticity reading
I share feedback on writing and representation that may unintentionally harm, stereotype, or exclude. I evaluate the authenticity of representation based on my own thoughts and lived experience. I read for these topics:
Neurodivergence and neurodiversity
Lived experience of disability
Mental health and complex trauma
Chronic illness and medical advocacy
Financial instability
In my work, I use Karen Yin’s Conscious Style Guide: A Flexible Approach to Language That Includes, Respects, and Empowers.
What you’ll get
Here’s what you’ll get when you hire me as an editor:
Feedback on your document using the Comments feature in Word, with explanations and suggestions.
A light copyedit with Tracked Changes that addresses typos, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style consistency.
A comprehensive report summarizing overall impressions and accessibility features.
A style sheet that records the document’s formatting, spellings, and preferences.
Links to articles and resources that explain feedback and help you learn more if you want.
I make sure to carefully consider your needs with those of your audience without judgment. My goal is to communicate clearly and tactfully to find a balanced approach to meet the needs of everyone involved.
Price and project workflow
Each document evaluation is unique and needs to be assessed differently.
Because each project’s needs are different, you’ll get a customized proposal tailored to your document. This proposal will outline the time and cost, which will be a fixed project fee so you know exactly what to expect.
