Authenticity reading
Passionate about LGBTQ+ representation in books and want to get it right? You want your writing to to align with the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ people and an authenticity read can help ensure your writing, characters and stories reflect LGBTQ+’s peoples lives.
Authenticity reads offer advice and guidance on the queer experience, characters and tackling sensitive issues, such as homophobia. Through detailed feedback on your writing, you make sure that what you publish is not harmful but realistic; not stereotypical but authentic.
What do you get?
- A full read of your manuscript
- A feedback report for your reference, detailing any areas that could potentially harm the LGBTQ+ community
- A free follow-up video call consultation to discuss anything with your manuscript, questions you may have, etc.
“Outstanding … surpassed all expectations”
As a beta reader, Nick’s services were outstanding. The style and quality of his feedback report surpassed all expectations. I wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again. Thank you, Nick!
