FAQ
What is a sensitivity reading, and why is it important?
Sensitivity reading involves reviewing a manuscript to ensure that it portrays different cultures, identities, and experiences accurately and respectfully. It’s important to avoid harmful stereotypes and ensure inclusivity in your writing.
What types of content do you focus on in a sensitivity read?
I focus on cultural representation, racial and ethnic diversity, gender and sexuality issues, disability, mental health, and other sensitive topics depending on your story's needs.
How will I receive your feedback?
You’ll receive feedback through detailed margin comments and a comprehensive sensitivity reader report, highlighting areas of concern and providing suggestions for improvement.
Can you guarantee my manuscript will be free of all issues after your sensitivity read?
While I strive to identify and address potential issues, sensitivity reading is one step in the process. It’s important to continue seeking diverse perspectives to ensure the most accurate and respectful representation.
What is your background?
I am an Afro-Puerto Rican who grew up in Harlem, New York during the 80s-90s. My experience involves first hand knowledge of poverty, trauma, socio-economic strain that intersect with race. I hold a bachelor's degree in English literature and a master degree in social work. I am a social worker.
