What Clients Say
The experience was wonderful and my sensitivity reader was polite and informative.
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.
