Well said. I AGREE 100%. I'm not hiring "sensitivity readers" to read through pre-publication drafts to advise me on what's "culturally appropriate"...lol

So I'm reading this article: http://bit.ly/2tuO5jk about "sensitivity readers" and I'm thinking, Are we going too far here? and isn't this concept in direct conflict with the craft of creatively expressing oneself?

Has anybody out there used "sensitivity readers"?

Why did you use them?
How did you employ them?
What benefit did you derive?
And would you use them again?

Thanks so much.

I watched your video, thanks. I picked up one or two tips. I never thought about organizing to the scene level. I'd just create a folder for a chapter and go at it. I can see now, through your video, how much easier it would be to zero in on stuff if I organized to the next level. I also wasn't aware that you could get individual word counts per act. That will be useful. Thanks again, for sharing.
