So, You Want to Be a Sensitivity Reader?

Description

Whether you call them Sensitivity Readers, Diversity Editors or Targeted Beta Readers, their goals are the same: to add authenticity to manuscripts, scripts, marketing materials, gaming storylines which feature marginalized groups . . . and it’s a booming business in need of trained individuals.

Sensitivity Readers, Diversity Editors and Targeted Beta Readers are not hired to edit out creativity, but to simply offer suggestions or alternatives, if needed. It is up to the client whether to use any of the suggestions or not.

Sensitivity Readers, Diversity Editors and Targeted Beta Readers have personal experience within a certain niche and are available to authors, publishers, gaming or marketing companies who include diversity within their creative content and want to make sure they are not unintentionally including bias or misrepresentation of a particular group.

To explain it even further, it is just another tool in the writer’s belt to use. Example: If you wrote a TV show based in a hospital or courtroom and you have zero experience in either, wouldn’t you hire a consultant who is a doctor or attorney to read over your script to make sure you’re getting it correct? You now understand what Sensitivity Readers, Diversity Editors and Targeted Beta Readers do.
