In today’s world, things are changing fast. Sensitivity to marginalized groups in your writing has never been more critical. But how can you navigate all the possible pitfalls when it comes to acceptable language, when it is changing almost under your feet? Work with Laura to ensure your manuscript meets today’s standards.
An in-depth professional sensitivity read is done by a reader who is a member of the marginalized group in question. To determine if you need this kind of consultation, Laura Matthews provides sensitivity vetting, meaning with her wide and general knowledge about sensitivity issues, she can recommend what your manuscript might need and hook you up with a sensitivity reader you can work with.
Bottom line:
- You want your story to be received for its merit, rather than have a distraction or controversy come up from an unintentional sensitivity misstep.
- You want every reader, not just people like you, to enjoy their reading experience and not to encounter the dissonance a sensitivity misstep in your book might cause.
- You want to change the world by ensuring that those who are unaware of their own biases will not soak up any more of them by reading your book.
Laura can read your manuscript to determine whether a deeper analysis by a specialized sensitivity reader is needed or if any issues can be solved through editing. Laura keeps her rates for this service low so that more authors and publishers can take advantage of it.
This service can be combined with an editorial evaluation for a complete analysis of the manuscript’s strengths and weaknesses.
Give Laura a call today to determine how to strengthen your manuscript.
