Sensitivity Reading
So you’ve written a story...
You’ve spent weeks, months, maybe even years on this project! And the draft is finally finished. You take a big sigh of relief. But that relief doesn’t last too long.
Anxiety sets in…
Your story has a character, an amazing character! The only thing is, they’re not like you.
Your character is of a different race, ethnicity, culture, or background from you. You want to capture your character in the best way possible. And you worked very hard to do so.
Is the work you’ve done enough?
You’ve done the research, but did you do it right? You’ve tried to avoid stereotypes, but you don't know everything.
What if there’s some unconscious bias embedded in your story? What if you included stereotypes without knowing? What if this character you worked so hard to create offends the very people you want to include and celebrate?
You don’t want your story to hurt anybody.
As a writer, you want your story to leave a positive impact.
You want assurance that your story will not just entertain but deeply inspire and empower your readers.
You want the confidence to publish your work without fear holding you back

Let's talk about how we can tackle this challenge together.
Sensitivity Reading
The best way to address this problem is to have someone read over your story. Someone that’s part of the community you’re depicting. Someone who loves storytelling just as much as you do!
This person can catch any stereotypes and unconscious biases, kindly giving guidance on how to correct them. They can also point out opportunities to alter scenes, dialogue, and descriptions in a way that helps readers from their community feel more connected with the character.
This person is a sensitivity reader. When you have an amazing sensitivity reader on your side, they can help you create characters of color that readers of color will love!
A Culture Craft reader is no ordinary reader!
When you get your sensitivity reader through Culture Craft By Imani, your reader doesn’t just look for stereotypes.
They look for opportunities to include cultural references in your story. These references help readers of color identify with your characters and have an emotional connection.
Your sensitivity reader is a trained master of the Culture-Connect Method ™ to address core issues in Diverse Representation. Armed with this knowledge, they’ll provide you with the guidance you need to publish an amazing inclusive story.
