About this Gig

Greetings, storytellers!


Representing our dazzling, diverse world is a skill and a huge challenge for the modern writer! It can be difficult to capture the heart of a culture that you've only seen from afar or have minimal experience with and it's an intimidating task with cancel culture on the rise. That's where I come in! Using my 10-point system, I will help you understand what culture is (race, religion, sexual orientation, lifestyle, etc...), evaluate the accuracy of your characters of culture, identify moments that don't feel true to the real experience, and highlight opportunities where you use culture to impact the plot, conflict, and character development.


Here's a breakdown of how I'll analyze your manuscript:


BETA READER & SENSTIVITY COACH

*Highlight Unsupported Stereotypes

*Point Out Moments of Unrealistic Behavior

*Highlight Insensitive or Unrealistic Language/Slang

*Critique Minority Character Development (as it relates to the plot & theme)

*Provide Ample Examples of How to Develop a Minority Character's Backstory & Belief System



All packages are a 2-for-1 deal as I'll be critiquing your work as both a Sensitivity Beta Reader and Developmental Editor.

    Overall, I am grateful I was able to receive some kind of help with my story. The response time and extended delivery time was a bit too delayed for me. The analysis was very helpful, and provided insight on what I could improve on my story. I wish there were a bit more editorial notes for each chapter....

Her (your) suggestions for adding/deleting are very helpful and enabled me to see how to provide more consistency and organization to the ms. I'm ready...

    Kat went above and beyond the sensitivity read I was expecting, leaving in depth notes as well as chapter analysis, and constructive suggestions for revision. I've worked with a lot of beta readers in the last two years, and I don't think anyone has made me think this hard. Will use again, if she'll have me! 10/10 would recommend.
