Conscious Language Toolkit for Writers
Writers communicate their messages with readers, but when the language may be inadvertently biased, exclusive, or disrespectful, it can have a negative effect on readers. But how do writers know what to keep in mind while writing, such as which words or phrases they should be aware of? Why does this matter?
That’s where this toolkit comes in—to serve as a resource for writers who want to craft their messages with conscious language in mind.

Testimonial
“Writing stories is a scary endeavour but the Conscious Language Toolkit for Writers alleviates some of that fear for me. It helps me understand why certain words or certain phrases can be harmful or exclusionary, and steers me towards more respectful and compassionate language. I return to it again and again. Like the dictionary and thesaurus, this toolkit is a must-have for writers.”
