Writing with sensitivity.
I offer a range of services as a sensitivity reader and consultant specialising in bisexual/queer representation. I’m happy to consider manuscripts across any genre or readership, however I do have a passion for young adult and romance, and I would consider those genres my area of expertise.
As a sensitivity reader, I’ll examine your manuscript for unconscious bias, biphobia, homophobia, and bierasure, and bring to your attention any stereotyping, or harmful representation. I will make recommendations and suggest improvements as required.
Sensitivity
Full Manuscript
$350 for up to 80,000 words
I will conduct two readings of your manuscript, and write an in-depth report assessing the representation and address what works well and what doesn’t. I will provide suggestions or solutions for problematic representation.
Partial Manuscript/Short Story/Scenes
$45 for 10,000 words
If you have a smaller work of fiction, or part of a manuscript that requires a SR, I can provide that service too. I will conduct two readings of your piece, and write an in-depth assessment addressing areas that are problematic, as well as highlighting representation that is working well. As with a full manuscript SR reading, I will suggest solutions for problematic representation as needed.
Sensitivity Consultant
$300 for 1 month
Have you ever wanted someone on tap to answer all your questions as you create your bisexual or queer character? You can email me any questions (there are no silly questions), or run ideas past me that you’d like feedback on. I will share resources with you, point you toward books with great queer representation, and generally be on tap for three months while you draft your manuscript. This service does not include sensitivity reading.
Zoom Sensitivity Consultations
$30 for 30 minutes.
Want to talk to me face-to-face about an issue via Zoom? I offer consultations where you can make an appointment to discuss the representation in your fiction. This is an additional extra for any service above.
