Bio
Robert Kingett is a journalist and author that continuously strives to make the technology and publishing worlds accessible to other disabled writers, especially writers who are blind or visually impaired. Robert Kingett is totally blind and lives with cerebral palsy. He's openly gay, and sometimes identifies as queer. His fiction aims to spotlight disabled characters, especially blind characters, in their own stories. Due to his speech disability, email is best for an initial introduction or request. Phone calls will not be answered without a scheduled time and date. His favorite stories to write include investigative stories, human interest stories, and personal essays, as well as Gonzo journalism.
