    Friendly and helpful sensitivity read. I recommend this sensitivity reader. Note: she also gave (good) general editing comments so you may get some editing comments with your sensitivity read too.

    This was looking at a short instruction guide for school meetings. The details returned were amazing and clearly will help guide me as I finish it.
