One-on-One Consultation Calls

Want to talk about your characters' mental health disorders, one page therapy in your book, trauma representation in your plot, or your process? I am here for you. These calls can be helpful to figure out how to weave mental health representation, trauma, or therapy, or any other area of sensitivity reading I cover needed into your plot if you don’t feel like you need a full sensitivity read.

• I offer a free 10 minute consultation call to see if we will be a good fit
• $150/hr flat fee, if you decide at the end of the call you want to continue with a full sensitivity read this fee will be deducted from the final price of the sensitivity read.

To honor the emotional labor required for a sensitivity read, prices differ based on lived experience.
