Sensitivity Readers


Product Details
Sensitivity Readers are "diversity editors," people with unique experiences that authors, publishers, gamers, marketing consultants hire to review copy (books, manuscripts, scripts, marketing materials) for unintentional bias, racism, stereotypes, caricatures, misrepresentations.

To view a SLIDE PRESENTATION explaining more about Sensitivity Reading, go here: https://www.slideshare.net/PatriceWilliamsMarks/what-is-a-sensitivity-reader-how-do-you-become-one
 
Sensitivity Readers are usually: minorities, LGBTQ, little people, Jewish, Muslim, experience with metal illness, experience with foster care system, obese, plus size, or have a disability, etc. (Not complete list).

The free 101 course will not only give you a greater understanding of what Sensitivity Reading is, but will answer questions such as:
 

  • Who can be a Sensitivity Reader?
    What exactly is Sensitivity Reading?
    Am I qualified to be a Sensitivity Reader?
    What qualifications do you need?
    How do I find my niche?
    What goes into writing a Sensitivity Review?
    How do I find clients?
    How much do I charge?
    Do I have to love to read to be a Sensitivity Reader?
    What industries need Sensitivity Readers?

I personally took this course and I found it but informative and a little disappointing as I did not feed any of the categories that would qualify need to be a good sensitivity reader. That aside the course was very informative and provided all the information someone would need in order to become a good sensitivity reader. I was given a free or discounted course for only a honest review.
