Offerings for Consent

Before offering my consent for Reparative Media to be published, I affirm:

My accessibility needs have been met by selecting one of the following offerings:

a) font/spacing resizing,

b) bionic reading,

c) an audio or video reading of parts of the book that reference me, my work or my companies,

d) a personal meeting with the author to go over any parts of the book I would like to discuss;

e) any other accommodation the author can make so I am able to read and offer feedback on this book.

I have been given at least three months to offer edits to this agreement. I have been made aware that if I do not respond in a timely fashion, I may lose my opportunity to offer consent.

I have been offered an additional two weeks to review edits made in response to my edits at least four weeks before final submission to the publisher for publication.

I have been offered $100 in payment for reviewing the manuscript, licensing images or video for this book, and for the opportunity to write a blurb in replace of or in addition to the dedicated page about my project.

I have been offered the opportunity to remove or make anonymous parts of the narrative referring to me, my work, or entities I own and control that are not public knowledge.

I have been offered the opportunity to advocate for removing or making anonymous parts of the narrative referring to me, my work or entities I own and control that are public knowledge. 

I have been offered the opportunity to seek restorative justice at the cost of the author if I believe I have been harmed by the author or this text. I affirm the author has delayed final submission of this publication to the publisher for no more than two months to offer space for this process.

I have been offered to select a restorative justice consultant of my own choice or one of three recommended restorative justice consultants curated by the author, including the opportunity to contact or interview the consultants myself.

I have been offered the opportunity to write or record an audio/video response to the book, or to share my story in any format that can be exhibited on the book’s website, on social media or in any venue I or the author have access to.

I have been offered the opportunity to publicly comment on the digital book anonymously or by name for as long as it remains live online. (Example here.) 

I have been offered an opportunity to review the final version of the manuscript before it is sent to the publisher, and, if I am still unable to consent after these offerings and edits, I have been offered the opportunity to add a note that I did not consent to all or a particular part of the book.

I have been offered an opportunity to edit this agreement so that I may offer my consent.

I am aware this agreement—without my name and signature—will be published in the book in the appendix.
