Sensitivity Reading

NOTE: I can be hired as a sensitivity reader. My prices range on the word count of the project and can be negotiated. See my Commissions page for my email contact form, or send me a direct message on Twitter. State you are looking for a sensitivity reader, share your word count, story genre, and a two sentence summary of your work.

These are the topics I am a sensitivity reader for:

• LGBTQIA (specifically trans, nonbinary, asexual, demisexual)
• PSTD
• Anxiety, Depression
• Healing from Trauma related to sexual and/or psychological abuse, rape/sexual assault (my biggest tip: don’t show the trauma in detail, otherwise, I’m gonna just give your story back. Show the journey toward healing in detail.)
• Religion: Catholicism (formerly) or Unitarian Universalist

My Active Projects

These are writing projects I’m either currently working on, have worked on and finished, or have set aside to finish at a later date. I am currently seeking to publish some of the short stories listed here. When one is published, I’ll mark it with a double asterisk (and provide a link to where you can purchase said story).
