Do I need a proofreader or sensitivity reader?
If you are writing about a person or place you have no personal experience with, then I can guarantee that your work would benefit from a proofreader or sensitivity reader. Even if you are confident in your prose or a member of the group in question, another perspective will be a great asset during the revision process.
Sensitivity readers can provide feedback on topics including but not limited to gender, race/ethnicity, religion, culture, history, location, and profession. While your story may not be lacking in respectability or imagination, I can elevate the authenticity and depth of your story with my own feedback.
