Questions, answered
Sensitivity reading FAQ.
A sensitivity (or authenticity) read is a careful review by someone with lived experience of a culture, identity or community your book portrays. They flag stereotypes, inaccuracies and language that could mislead or harm, and suggest respectful, accurate alternatives — so your writing rings true.
No — the goal is the opposite. A sensitivity read strengthens your story by making it ring true. You receive suggestions, not rewrites; every decision stays yours, and your voice and vision are kept fully intact.
Not necessarily — but many authors still find an extra set of expert eyes valuable, especially across regions, generations or intersecting identities. We’ll tell you honestly in the free consultation whether we think it would help.
Always — 100%. A sensitivity read is guidance on your book. Your ownership, copyright and royalties are entirely unaffected.
It depends on length, but it's far faster than traditional timelines — usually weeks. You'll have a clear turnaround time before we start.
