Madison did a sensitivity read for relevant excerpted material, and provided helpful pointers on places for improvement in representation.
- A.R. Henle
I needed a sensitivity reader for my manuscript, and I was paired with Mehr. She was thorough and conscientious in everything that she said. She gave me feedback that is invaluable, and I’m very glad I reached out to Salt & Sage for assistance.
- Abbie Karlish
I received an excellent sensitivity read. The editor flagged areas for further thought and consideration, and also noted strengths of the mss.
