Looking for sensitivity readers for WIP swaps

[Zaida]

I’m white but Jewish and am on the Autistic spectrum – so am at least, of a marginalised minority on two counts.

I have stuff in my book that could do with sensitivity reading. I would be happy to exchange.

My book is about my travels with a talking teddy bear and the barriers of travel to having Asperger’s Syndrome!

I could do with having my Introduction (978 words) looked at and also my first chapter, America (well, at least Annapolis and a touch of Baltimore and Newark) - 5391 words
And my Afterthoughts, 430.

Plus a couple of paragraphs in my Amsterdam chapter, where I use Black people as an analogy when talking about the Social Model of Disability and Disabled people.

But should explain that I am British, so I tend to use the term ‘black ‘or ‘Black’ (depending on if it is for political use of not). I am not looking to change to POC as I am not centering on America. Black people in the UK use ‘black’ Or Black’.

I could look at your 10k in exchange and, if I have any questions that I might want to understand as a white reader I could offer those!

Hi Anja, I will get email tomorrow. Bit busy now. I'm more Jewish by default and loose culture but agnostic towards atheist. But, I experience of the Jewish and Jew-ish societal barriers!

I have just emailed you Anja, saying I can look at your 10k and I attached documents almost to the same total. But now I see that you had suggested I look at your 3k about a Jewish girl. In fair exchange I would say just look at my Chapter 8 of the documents I attached. Though if you would like to look at the others and comment, I am happy for that too!
