Sensitivity Reading Services

I am pleased to offer sensitivity reading services to all authors wanting another set of eyes for their work.

Areas of Interest


I am willing to read most fiction, but I have particular interest in fantasy, especially gunpowder fantasy and steampunk, political fantasy, and traditional/high fantasy.

I will not read erotica. I will consider works including romance, but would prefer that they not be the main plot.

I am also willing to read nonfiction, articles, and blog posts, provided I find them relevant to my interests.
