About this Gig

In today's diverse literary landscape, authentic representation is important. Sensitivity reading focuses on reviewing your manuscript through the lens of lived experiences & cultural understanding.


Sensitivity Reading


I will carefully evaluate how the following customs, experiences, and identities are portrayed in your work to ensure fully fleshed characterization, accuracy, and respect. This helps prevent harmful stereotypes as well as unintentional biases and inaccuracies.


My topics of expertise are:

  • Korean & Korean American
  • Asexuality
  • Mental Health - OCD
  • Disability - Chronic Pain Disorder & Fibromyalgia
  • Stem - Marine & Env. Biology and Environmental Policy


Beta Reading

I will provide reader-focused feedback on your story's structure, pacing, characters, and overall impact. I can help you identify plot holes, inconsistencies, and areas where your stories may lose momentum.


I will include in-line comments and suggestions as well as honest, constructive, and thoughtful feedback. I may highlight spelling, punctuation, or other errors I spot along the way.


NO form of AI will ever be used, ever.


Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I am always happy to connect!
