Sensitivity Reading

I am offering paid services to authors to help with their manuscripts via beta reading and synopsis critiques.

A sensitivity reader is someone who reads for offensive content, misrepresentation, stereotypes, bias, lack of understanding, etc. They create a report for an author and/or publisher outlining the problems that they find in a piece of work and offer solutions in how to fix them.

My services start at $200 USD per book and increase depending on the timeframe in which you need to have it reviewed. You will receive an outline of any problems within the text and solutions for this, with some inline comments depending on the prose.

I can specifically read for:

• plus size/fatphobia;
• bipolar 2 disorder;
• ADHD/ADD;
• general anxiety/social anxiety;
• agoraphobia;
• disability in general;
• PTSD;
• bisexuality/demisexuality/pansexuality.

Please send me an email to hello@booksandladders.co.uk

to book your spot today!

Upon approval of your manuscript, I will email you back with a confirmation. At this time, a tentative date of completion will be provided; this will typically be around three to four weeks from receipt of the manuscript, however, depending on demand, timelines may increase. 

Specific completion dates can be done upon request, however rush turnaround time will result in additional charges. However, if I do not think we will be able to finish reading and editing before the end of four weeks, I will email you and give you an updated timeline.

I require 50% up front and 50% before sending over my final notes.

I work full time and therefore have a set amount of each of my services to offer every month. If my schedule is full for the month you request, I will offer you my next available spot.

I am now booking for Winter 2023! Click on the service you would like to purchase to learn more about it and the pricing structure.
