Sensitivity Reading:

• Choose this option if you need detailed insight into how your work could be interpreted by an authentic reader and how that compares to what you intended. Keep in mind that the purpose of sensitivity reading is not to censor your work or make every character always say/think the "right" thing. Instead, the purpose of sensitivity reading is to address any issues of representation, unintentional biases, and words that could come off as being negatively charged—all while respecting the voice, style, and vision of the work. I want to help ensure that most readers will be able to delve into your main character’s journey without becoming unintentionally offended.
