I am currently OPEN for sensitivity reading requests.

As a beta/sensitivity reader, my purpose is not to directly endorse your work. Please do not misuse my name as a shield against criticism - I am not a get out of jail free card.

An important thing to note is that my experiences are not universal. If you have requested the services of a different beta/sensitivity reader and they happen to disagree with any feedback I have given, I kindly request that you leave me out of it. My purpose is to help you as much as I am able to, not to hash through disagreements with other beta/sensitivity reader colleagues.

If you’d like to, you can credit me in your work. Please contact me before doing so!

Tell me more about what you need from me - if you can pinpoint which section, even better!

Make sure you have done the research you need, especially if you are requesting a specific type of culture/sensitivity read. I am not here to simply consult or do research on your behalf.

Edit line by line, rewrite your story, or take away your voiceDo extensive grammar editing (I will usually restrict this to comments if required)


I reserve the right to deny any requests - I am happy to clarify on any reasons I might have.

Once you have submitted your request, I will respond within 3 days. Feel free to contact me again if I have not responded. If your request is accepted, we will discuss payment, work timelines if necessary as well as any specifics regarding the type of feedback that most needs my focus. My reading begins as soon as I receive payment - I will take about a week to complete every 10k words depending on demand, and I will communicate regularly on progress milestones.
