Summary:
You may have heard of sensitivity or cultural readers: professional readers with lived experience who can assess your manuscript for inconsistencies, insensitivities, stereotypes, and dangerous portrayals of that experience. But using a sensitivity reader doesn’t make your story immune to criticism. An evening of questions and exploration of this growing area of editing.
Details
This evening will be run as a Q&A session and participants will be invited to submit their questions before and during the seminar.
This event will take place online. Detailed information for participation will be provided.
