Author services

Are you ready to share your draft with a practice audience? I am here for you!

I provide a detailed 15-20 page report with emotional reactions, logistical issues, character critiques and comments, plot development, memorable moments, and feedback on pacing, world-building, dialogue, theme, and impact of your story. I am here to offer support, perspective, and opinions on aesthetic and delivery to make your vision become a successful reality.

I will NEVER use AI for my beta or sensitivity reading services. As an indie author of seven published books, I understand what it means to entrust your story to the eyes of others for the first time, and I assure you that I will handle your story with the care, professionalism, and attention that I would if it were my own.

SEX WORK

NONBINARY QUEER & kink / bdsm

So you're writing prostitution into your story. Maybe a porn star, a stripper, or a romantasy style brothel? And you want to portray this as accurately and authentically as possible.

I LOVE that.

Thank you for including representation of sex workers into your story.  I'm here to offer supportive and critical feedback so that you can have our identity present while lessening harmful impact, avoiding stereotypes, and choosing language and context that perfectly matches your story while respecting this dynamic profession.

I have been in the sex work industry for over 15 years. I have specific experience in the following areas:

My current gender identity broadly falls under the category of nonbinary / trans.

I sensitivity read for: gender awakenings, faegender, xenogender, omnigender, pangender, genderfluid, transmasc, and femme identities.

My sexual identity broadly falls under the category of queer. My attraction to people is often, but not always, affected by my gender expression. My attraction is sometimes entirely contingent upon a imbalanced power dynamic (D/s) where I am attracted to someone only while in a role. BDSM is one of my special interests and I have been a participant in the kink community for almost 20 years.

I sensitivity read for: queer, kinksexual, subsexual, Domsexual, sexual sadism, sexual masochism, Dominant, submissive, heavy and dark taboos, as well as pansexual, sapiosexual, androsexual, and bisexual identities.

Sex workers, LGBTQIA2S, Black and Indigenous authors will receive discounted services. Cis-het white men are subject to a double (x2) fee.

If you are a dark romance or spicy romantasy author, ask me about swapping beta reads! <3

Beta Reading Costs:

Beta Reading:

50k words or less: $300
50k - 100k words: $600
100k - 200k words: $900

The scope of sensitivity reading can be wide and varied. The cost of sensitivity reading will depend largely on the scope of your needs. 

For instance, if your main character or love interest is a sex worker this would require a much more involved sensitivity read compared to a side character or a one-time-appearance of a sex worker. When filling out the contact form, please include the following information:
