SENSITIVITY READING SERVICE
Get your manuscript publication ready.
WHAT IS A SENSITIVITY READ?A sensitivity read is done to read for potentially offensive content, misrepresentation, stereotypes, bias, lack of understanding, etc. The reader creates a report for an author and/or publisher outlining the problems that they find in a piece of work and offer solutions on how to fix them. By doing this, the literary quality of a work can be substantially improved.
A sensitivity reader will often come from a member of specific Nation or community that the author is writing about. They will include academic as well as personal experience in their reading. It is suggested that an author hire more than one sensitivity reader, due to the subjective nature of writing. Each person, no matter where they come from, are shaped by their own experiences, and no two experiences will be the same. |
