I will be your sensitivity reader

To tell me a little about your project and make sure I can perform the service before placing an order.

YES! The majority of my orders are for full length novels. For works of more than 10k words, please inbox me with details about your project and I will send you a custom quote/order.

I read all genres, including non-fiction, social media posts, screenplays, essays, personal statements, watch videos, etc. I do not accept stories that include rape or sexual assault. Must be in Microsoft Word format (includes in-line comments/edits and a overall summary).

YES! In addition to the sensitivity read, I will also provide general beta reader critique of your story, including feedback about plot, dialogue, scenes, character arcs, believability, Show vs. Tell, overuse of words, inconsistencies, etc.

Although this is not a proofread or a copy edit, my general style is to comment on whatever I see as I read. I may call to your attention some misspellings, but not all. I also may comment on sentence structure or basic literary devices/concerns like flashbacks, opening chapters In Media Res, etc.

No, a sensitivity read is NOT a guarantee against making a story-telling mistake involving marginalized communities. But it will point out any definite and potential areas of bias in your story. This is often tough feedback to receive, it is ultimately up to you to accept or reject the feedback.

No, I will not rewrite your problematic areas. If I identify areas of concern regarding your story and marginalized communities, I will critique and give examples of how the story can improve, but the onus is on you to do the research and rework your story.
