What people say about Kerry.
Rachel Stones, Author
Kerry provided me with a manuscript evaluation which was both thoughtful and thorough. Her expertise allowed me to edit and enhance areas of my story before submitting for publication. Throughout the entire process she was prompt and communicative, and I loved working with her. I highly recommend her services!
Author of Rose and the Rogue
As a writer, I appreciated Kerry’s thoughtful and informative comments on my draft. It gave me confidence about portraying a character with a different experience from my own and allowed me to refine the book to reflect the best language to use. I’d definitely work with her again and recommend her to others looking for a professional sensitivity reader.
Melissa Smith, Program Curator of Collaborative Learning at the AGO
Kerry and I first met while I was teaching a seminar, the Multisensory Museum, in the Inclusive Design Graduate Department at OCAD University. This was an experimental course in which graduate students were asked to co-create multimodal objects to translate art in the museum with museum staff, physical rehabilitation workers, and Community Consultants from the Blind and Partially Sighted Communities.
Kerry worked with the students and in the course as a Community Consultant, helping students to think of alternatives to dominant practice. The course became a form of participatory activism – presenting viable alternatives to ocularcentric objects and espousing inclusive co-design principles.
Kerry was so generous sharing her time and lived experience with the students. She leaned into our experimental process, contributing game changing insights and truly impacting how the students perceived the world.
