Pricing

All rates are based on current EFA rates per word, which can be found here: https://www.the-efa.org/rates/

Full payment prior to the rendering of services is preferred, but exceptions can be made in the case of financial difficulties that prevent paying a large sum up front. A payment plan may be negotiated, and in the case of scheduled payments, I will read the manuscript in segments whose word count is proportional to the amount paid at the time of payment.

I accept the following forms of payment:

• PayPal

• Personal Check

• Venmo

Payment is nonrefundable, unless for some reason I am unable to complete the sensitivity reading, in which case I will prorate the original payment amount based on how far I have gotten through the work.

Terms and Conditions

Deliverables:
I will read the work at least once and then submit a report that documents all of the issues that I notice, with quotations, citations, and explanations. An issue can range from specific words or sentences that are problematic to an overall character arc or major plot point that is a harmful trope. I will also provide suggestions regarding how to fix these issues. Though final changes are always up to the author, these changes may require a complete overhaul of the work in some cases.

Manuscript:
Work will begin after I receive payment (including clearance of personal checks and confirmation of gift card validity) and will be completed before the delivery date agreed upon.

The work must be revised and self-edited before sending. I cannot accept newer versions once the reading has begun.

Privacy:
My agreement to serve as a sensitivity reader does not constitute an endorsement of the work, a defense against criticism of the work, or a guarantee that the work is free of any and all biases. I can only read the work from my own personal experience, which may not align with the experiences of others who share my marginalization. As a part of the agreement, my name may not be mentioned in any public manner, including acknowledgments, without permission.

I will not disclose any information regarding the work to anyone but pre-approved parties prior to its final publication. After publication, I reserve the right to criticize the text of the finished copy.

As it pertains to the above: If my sensitivity reading requires me to consult someone else with similar expertise (e.g. a family member) for clarification or a second opinion, I will request explicit permission before discussing it with the person I consult and will not reveal your identity to them.

I am willing to sign formal non-disclosure agreements that comply with the above if necessary. Any non-disclosure agreement will be signed at the time of payment.
