I will sensitivity read your manuscript for yoruba cultural accuracy
About this Gig
Does your Nigerian story feel true, or just researched?
Readers know the difference. They feel it when a character eats the wrong dish at the wrong occasion, when a Yoruba name is spelled like a guess, when the slang belongs to the wrong decade or the wrong city. One off-note and the spell breaks.
Hi, we're Omo & Lara, two Nigerian sisters who grew up on folktales told in the dark. We read your Nigerian or West African novel the way your real audience will, catching the names, the food, the proverbs, the Yoruba phrasing, the family dynamics, and the cultural details outsiders almost always miss.
You'll get an honest, warm, chapter-level read. We tell you what moved us, what made us laugh out loud, and exactly where you lost us, kindly but honestly. Every note means we actually read that page.
What we check for:
- Yoruba names, meaning & spelling
- Food, dress, religion & daily life
- Slang, pidgin & real-sounding dialogue
- Proverbs & folktales used right
- Stereotypes
Perfect for: KDP/self-published authors, traditional-publishing submissions, and anyone writing Nigerian or West African characters who wants the story to ring true.
Send us your pages. Let's make them sing.

FAQ
Is my manuscript safe with you?
Completely confidential. We never share, resell, or discuss your work.
What exactly is a sensitivity read?
It's a cultural accuracy and authenticity review by people from the culture you're writing about. We flag anything that reads as inaccurate, dated, or stereotyped, and we show you how to fix it, so your Nigerian characters and world feel real to real Nigerian readers.
Are you actually Nigerian / Yoruba?
Yes. We're two Nigerian sisters who grew up inside this culture, the language, the food, the folktales, the slang. This isn't research for us; it's home.
Will you rewrite or edit my book?
This gig is a cultural/sensitivity review, not line editing or proofreading. We give you clear notes and suggested fixes; you keep full control of the writing. Need heavy editing too? Message us first.
My book isn't Yoruba-specific, just set in Nigeria/West Africa. Can you still help?
Absolutely. We cover Nigerian and broader West African settings. Tell us the specific region, ethnicity, and time period in your order so we calibrate the read.
