I loved working with Salt & Sage for a sensitivity read. Their agency is smooth, cohesive and organized in approach - they were reliable with their responsiveness and turnaround time, and everyone was professional and kind. All communication went through a centralized email, to keep communication streamlined, and that was very well managed by Veronica and Erin. My sensitivity reader, Undrea, was very insightful in her review. She pointed out some useful points to consider about how to enhance representation and strengthen a major plot theme. When I first approached Salt & Sage, I sent them a list of specific concerns, and Undrea addressed each one thoroughly for education and peace of mind. Even in the areas where there were no problems, Undrea explained what the problematic tropes could have been, and how those were specifically avoided. Because of this thorough and specific approach, I didn’t have to worry about the vague anxiety of whether something was offensive or harmful unintentionally. I recommend Salt & Sage to anyone considering a sensitivity read, and Undrea did an amazing job!

Larissa was so incredibly thorough, which was such a help! We’ve had sensitivity reads before for other books, and this might honestly be the best one. The detailed notes were amazing, and we’re so thankful for all of the edits.

I sent my incomplete novel to have a sensitivity reading and I found the process incredibly helpful. The letter overview gave me good insight of further ways I can expand upon what is already present, recognition for what I have that is already working well, and constructive feedback for where I have made errors. The feedback was thoughtful and articulated excellently on both how to write about his lived experience, and how ideas and concepts will be received more broadly. All my emails were responded to very quickly as well which was very appreciated.
